I think it depends what you think 2019 FA is going to look like, if Kawhi/Klay are avail then you probably pay PG so you have a piece in place when you try to lure them. PG being in place would go a long way towards getting another big name FA.
If you think no one worth maxing is going to be avail then maybe you pass on PG.
You think Randle is going to get 25 a year?
That seems crazy to me. Despite being talked about for a while now people are still going to be surprised how little money is out there this summer. If someone offers him 25 then you wish him good luck. A destination like the Lakers shouldnt be wasting 25% of the cap on Julius Randle.
IDK what you do with him generally. If his rights arent renounced hes probably not getting an offer sheet from other teams tbh. So you probably just do your best in negotiating vs yourself. Not sure what kind of contract that should lead to.
And good point on the free agency situation. I was probably too anti PG anyways. Hed likely have trade value anyways. Look at Blake.
