    Since the Knicks/Grizzles deal looks like it's dead, a beat writer suggests this as one of several trades:

    Would you do this deal?

    It would have been very nice if the writer from Newsday applied some basic logic. But since he/she didn't...

    1. Warriors have very little to trade for Randolph during this offseason to match his salary. After Harrington, we have to trade either Jackson, Wright or combinaion of Marco, A. Randolph, Williams and Handrix. There is no way we would trade any of them to acquire Randolph.

    2. If Randolph can't fit into NY's new up-tempo style, he won't survive with Nelson's style.

    3. After 09-10 season, we lose both Jackson and Harrington. Then, Warriors may have around 20 mils of caproom for 2010 offseason. If everything goes right, we can attract big name FAs with Monta, Maggette, Randolph, Wright and Biedrins core. I think some FAs prefer those cores instead of caprooms and nothing else. If we add Randolph and his 3 years contract, we have no chance to enter 2010 FA market.

    4. We have extremely young players. Last thing we need is Randolph and his bad influence...

    I don't agree that the Warriors are "desperate for any kind of scoring." Maggette, Jackson, and Harrington are all 20+ ppg. capable, and Biedrins could carry more scoring load if called upon to do so as well, the only reason he hasn't is that the Warriors already had too much scoring to go around. Wright could probably score 20 with starter minutes too and Belinelli and Randolph could potentially be explosive scorers off the bench.

    They are fine on scorers (better with Monta, but OK even without), they need defense, rebounding, and distribution.
