My guess is Pat says no - even with the salary difference but it’s an interesting question.

Even with some decline Jimmy replacing RJ would be big upgrade and would think Jimmy would be another guy who could squeeze quality/focus out of Randle.

Brunson, Jimmy, Randle, IQ - with our role players sprinkled in —- pretty tough but YES Jimmy is getting up there and Father Time undefeated.

That’s just what we need. After a second round exit with butler we get to be dominated by RJ being coached by Spoelstra next 10 years

Yes - that would be a bad look though RJ dominating is a reach.

Jimmy is certainly a day or 2 past ripe.
