Why the Pacers should not sign Julius Randle

Many Indiana Pacers fans seem interested in the idea of signing Lakers forward Julius Randle this summer. Let’s pump the brakes on that proposition.

The Indiana Pacers could have quite a lot of cap space this summer. They are a young team looking to add more young and talented players that can help them be a title contender for years to come. The Los Angeles Lakers are a team looking to clear cap space to sign big-time free agents, and thus Julius Randle is expendable to their franchise. The overlapping goals for the organizations makes the “Julius Randle to the Pacers” idea an easy one to land on, and it is one that many Pacers fans seem to be enamored with.

But let’s not be so hasty.
