why would they not have been able to sign Randle? and no Zingis in 18-19 was a built in autotank anyways, so Barrett isnt precluded by Zingis staying. not to mention their draft pick this year is middling. its likely that not a single component of their return ever helps them win anything.

so even if you would rather have randle and barrett, its not clear that they had to choose.
