Allegedly, all they want is a first round pick (according to Chad Ford). If I'm Cho, I make that deal.
 
After all the evidence is in--after you've run all the facts by everything you know--and you're still lost, you have to do some things on faith

Pritchard traveling with Pacers

Former Portland Trail Blazers general manager Kevin Pritchard spent the first part of the trip traveling with the Pacers.

Pacers president Larry Bird invited Pritchard, who was fired by Portland about an hour before last summer's NBA draft, on the trip. Their friendship goes back to when the two were teammates with the Boston Celtics during the 1991-92 season.

Bird, who is in the last year of his contract, respects the job Pritchard did in rebuilding the Trail Blazers. Pritchard played a significant part in acquiring guard Brandon Roy and forward LaMarcus Aldridge.

The Pacers do not employ Pritchard. Bird likes to pick the brains of people who have held front office positions. Golden State's former executive of basketball operations, Chris Mullin, also a former Pacers player, might hang around the team later in the season.

"There's a lot of guys around the league I talk to," Bird said. "I've always done that."

You are right they will try. If I am Cho, I would decline. one first round Draft Pick is it. Maybe throw in an extra Euro. But really Anthony is a very weak big man with no shot. Lets not go over board.
 
New York fans on realgm are hearing that the Indiana trade is fake.

Ah, a little subterfuge to try and squeeze more out of Status Cho. It won't work. He's still evaluating the breakfast menu at Denny's.
 
Randolph > Marks, and probably anyone they'd get in the 15-20 range in the draft.
 
It wouldn't shock me if Indiana were the team randolph will end up with. But Portland to me seems the most likely. But we shall see.

Pretty sure Tommy Dee is the one who mentioned in many an article Portland's interest in Nate Robinson. So in this case, I wouldn't doubt he knows little.
 
SAN ANTONIO - Anthony Randolph seems to be counting the days until the Knicks finally send him on his way, with Portland emerging as a likely destination for the seldom-used forward.

A Blazers official confirmed that the team has interest in Randolph, but added that the team is not getting great reports on the 21-year-old.

"But he's also a guy that has the talent and is young enough where he might just work out," the source said. "There aren't many players in the draft like him."

The Blazers have two first-round picks and would be willing to swap Randolph for one of them. Knicks president Donnie Walsh met with Randolph's agent, Bill Duffy, last week in New York and it is clear that the Knicks will attempt to move Randolph before the Feb. 24 trading deadline.

Walsh is trying to acquire as many first-round picks as possible to either use in a trade for Carmelo Anthony or for assets in a future deal.

Portland's interest in Randolph increased when Marcus Camby had knee surgery that could sideline him for one month. The Blazers are already missing their best player, Brandon Roy, while Greg Oden is out the entire season. Dante Cunningham is currently the Blazers' first big man off the bench and yet head coach Nate McMillan has the team in contention for a playoff berth.

I hate to call him "racist" but he did the same thing with Blake too ...

You guys understand that Mike asks the players if he can mention their loved ones on the air right? Some players say sure, while others shy away from it. It is a professional courtesy to the players. I am pretty sure I have heard Brandon Jr. more than most as well. I think some of you dislike Mike a lot, but to call the guy racist when you don't actually listen to him commentate due to the fact that you are watching ESPN is both cowardly and ignorant. Sometimes the mods need to be moderated.
 
Canzano said the background check on Randolph came back, and it "ain't good"

The quote in the above article says the same thing, sorta:

The hope is that Randolph is still young and there enough are strong personalities and good influences on this roster who can turn him around, if this is true.

Camby-Przy-Buck-LMA? if these guys can't help straighten him out then there is no hope, worth the chance? interesting choice

So when Canzano says it "ain't good", does he mean that he has some character issues in his past or that he's squeaky clean and there's no material to bitch about and say "I told you so" in a future column?

what's tour take on Randolph, Maxie? take the chance or not worth it?
 
Trading one of our first rounders for Anthony Randolph is a complete utter total no-brainer. Do it yesterday. So his maturity at age 21 is spotty? Canzano can't wait to write a negative editorial about him? So what? It's not like we're talking about Zach Randolph here. There are plenty of good role models and mentors on the Blazers to get Anthony Randolph on the right track, Nate, Buck, and especially Camby among them. Bernie and Bayno may help too. I don't often weigh in on these things, but come on. There are no sure things, especially in the draft. But unless Cho has a better deal lined up with the pick, odds are that this move is ridiculous in our favor.
 
If it is heavy drugs use we might have a problem, other than that we should take the risk.

It could mean that he has attiude problems and a poor work ethic. (Both of which could be corrected as some have suggested in the right environment). I don't think he will help much this year, but he may be a good investment. But a strong work ethic is a huge factor. The ones who continue to get better make it and the ones who don't......don't.
