Finch said yesterday that they would have a better idea on Randle's injury by the end of the day. This was posted this morning:

The injury update on Julius Randle is that he has a right adductor strain, and that he will be re-evaluated in two weeks.


This wouldn't seem good for a Randle trade, however, we have already seen injured players traded. So who knows. Assuming Randle is not traded, this means we will not see him until after the all-star break.

That three-big rotation, Ant, Jaden, Conley and NAW have all been healthy and playing almost the entire season during which we have ended up as a team hovering slightly above .500. If getting Randle back gives us hope then I know longer believe in a little place called hope. :)
We haven't had a month, week, or even a game where everyone is firing on all cylinders. Ant was hot from 3 to start the season, Randle was solid from 3, NAW was fantastic from 3 the first two months, Naz was great from three the first handful of games, while Mike, Donte, and Jaden started horribly from three. After a handful of games, Naz was horrible from three for over a month. Ant goes cold from three, while Donte starts shooting lights out from three, and Naz kept cold. Naz and Ant start shooting great again, Donte get's hurt, Jaden finds his confidence and starts attacking and rebounding, while Randle's 3pt shot falls off a map and NAW all of a sudden can't hit a shot. Mike came around from 3 at one point as well, but can't make anything else. Randle gets hurt and here we are. Maybe we're just doomed to be a .500 team as constructed, but we never can get everyone going at the same time, which is a bummer.
The DDV injury was a killer for sure. I think we could be on a nice run with the way he was playing with energy and rebounding, it was really impressive. It is nice to see Clark and some more Dilly. People laughed when I said Clark had potential. He reminds me a bit of Pat Bev with his stickiness to defenders. Guys have to hate playing against him. No space.
I don’t think there were many who laughed at you over that. Maybe something else, but not that. :). Seriously, my only concern with the Clark pick was his Achilles injury. Those can be tough to come back from. But of course, it was his Achilles injury that made him available in the late second round even though before the injury he was projected as a first round pick and possibly even a late lottery pick. So it made sense for TC to pounce on the opportunity and now it’s looking like TC’s gamble might pay some pretty big dividends.

Yeah, I thought most of us were pretty upbeat about the Clark pick. Someone who was easily a first round pick, if not a lottery pick, until the Achilles injury.

I'm pretty sure you said to cut him along with Moore.
