Okay... Calm down. This may look crazy. Let me explain: For NYK, Russ is an expired deal, you do not need to play him. You just want to get rid of the Randle contract, he is negative property that may not get better with his current role. You still have a decent roster, many future picks, and future cap space.

For LAL, Randle cannot be a top ball handler, but he can come off the bench, providing some ball handling when LBJ is on the bench, he has done that before as a Pelican. Now with Fournier, you get some shooting, and you get rid of Russ. Now you can start retooling this team with AD & LBJ.
