Randle shut it down for the season\u2019s final five games. Rose says he\u2019s under the belief Randle wants to be here next season. The Post reported people around the league feel Randle is acting in a \u201cJames Harden way\u2019\u2019 to force a move.<\/p>\n<p>Asked by host Mike Breen if Randle has told him he wants to be here, the former CAA agent said, \u201cYes he did.
