On the one hand, it’s hard to envision Mills and Perry offering the Big Apple Turnover any assurances of starting, given that his contract’s guaranteed for just this year and the next.

But to the eye that has brains, it’s evident none of them were Elfrid Payton, who Randle knows will give him back the ball. So the Big Apple Turnover simply eliminates the middleman and goes directly into the shot.
