Randle skipped a potential 2nd workout w/ Celtics today for this -> MT @J30_RANDLE: Meeting with @GQMagazine today to discuss style

Ugh, this is what's wrong the league now. There's a sense of entitlement and a lot of these players coming in feel like they don't have to work. Why skip a potential job that you've dreamed about to talk about .....fashion
In the few interviews I've seen of Aaron Gordon, all he seems to be interested in is basketball, working out, and getting better. He's also very honest about his weakness and how he's working to improve them. I like that. It makes me think he has his head on straight and has the ability to get better. Seeing Randle skip a workout to talk about style is troubling.
That's how I see. Regardless of a "promise" things can change draft night and you want to at least say that you've done all you could do to show your potential to other teams. Talking fashion should be the last thing on a players mind entering the draft.
Eh, this is no big deal to me. It's an interview process, yes, but the interview goes both ways. Julius Randle is not a good fit on the Celtics, and this is no secret to anyone, least of all Randle. He's not coming here, and he doesn't want to come here. It's much better for his career if he winds up in LA than Boston, or in Philly than Boston. So what if he makes an extra $25k for a GQ feature right now?
I know I've turned down a second interview for a job because it didn't feel like a good fit for me. I don't see this as much different. He knows he's getting a job, and he'd rather it be in a situation that he likes, since he can't exactly choose.
