Would you rather Julius Randle or Miles Bridges as our 4-man?

Pro-Randle:
1.) All-NBA production during the regular season
2.) Physicality sets the tone for the rest of our team. It's core to our identity.
3.) Still on a team friendly contract

Con-Randle:
1.) Is useless and becomes a real liability if his offense falters
2.) Is due for a contract extension that will likely be hefty; especially having left CAA
3.) Energy when things go wrong for him is toxic for everyone else on the league.
4.) Still gets into dick-measuring contests with Brunson


Pro-Bridges:
1.) CHEAP. He likely could be had for a fraction of the price of Julius long-term, which could allow us to continue building out this team
2.) Can put up similar counting stats to Julius.
3.) Provides us with a one-man fast break option as well as a 2nd vertical spacer.
4.) A better perimeter shooter, which can open up the game for other players.
5.) A more capable defender on the perimeter in switches
6.)A far more adept and willing passer than Julius.

Con-Bridges:
1.) Off-court drama. Dude might be a legitimate idiot.
2.) Drama that could detract from the team and any push we are capable of making.
3.) Is smaller than Julius, which makes us less physical and takes away from our identity.
4.) Inferior rebounder than Julius.
5.) Has never played for a winner. Can his game translate to one?

Another con for Miles: He's not as effective in the half court. All the other stuff aside, the roster would need an overhaul. I think it's a nonstarter. If we where basing this on talent, I'd bring Miles to be a super sub. But hard no when taking everything into consideration.

I would have moved RJ for Bridges and played Bridges on the wing next to Randle but we have OG now. I like Bridges but he makes us to small without Randle.

You lost me at Miles Bridges but super lost me with the "dick measuring" jibe. Not valid and a cheap shot. Him and Brunson seem better than fine. I won't bother with the other fabrications and overstatements.

Trade Randle!

Randle is a superstar and at some point I hope we stop second guessing him here.

Disagree with your first con,
1. Randle USELESS if offense is not there?
Rebounding is not useless. Averages close to 10 every year..
Forcing teams to double him is not useless. Creates opportunities for others.
You mention Miles is a more "willing passer?
Randle has averaged 5 assists twice in career. Is currently averaging 4.7. Averaged 6 in 2020. Almost double of Miles high for the year which was 3.8?

However, regardless of what one thinks about Randle, Miles is a no for one reason...
Which you mentioned as first 2 cons.
1. DRAMA
2. DRAMA

And I would not call it just "Drama". Domestic abuse is something that should get you kicked out of the league.

He will be a PR headache for any team that gives him a second chance.
