Another thought re: Julius Randle
I wonder what a fully healthy offseason does for his ability to hit the ground running. I feel like people often forget about his shoulder injury that held him out the second half of the season and playoffs with the Knicks.

I like the Randle contract and feel that’s a good price to bank on the late season/playoff success to give them the whole year with that continuity.
Obviously OKC is still the team to beat, but I like the bet on internal growth from the young crew plus Ant/Jaden/Naz
