Knicks Get Randolph; Draft W. Chandler

[MaRdYC26]

Love the move for Randolph. I was never a fan of Frye's game, and Steve Francis is straight up garbage. Zach has attitude problems, BUT, it's worth the risk because hes a 25/10 guy. That is what we need. This lineup looks great right now:C-CurryPF-RandolphSF-QRichSG-CrawfordPG-Marbury

4 REAL man.. the knicks have 2 big men who are litterally big and tough.| The can definitley grab boards well together as well as be an offensive threat.| HAving David Lee come off the makes things soooooo much better as of being a tougher team with improved rebounding.| Crawford is back too.| Can't wait.| Hopefully marbury continues well.|

 

[BuLLzDoMaIn]

I think they have the best scoring front court but the wrost defening one...but it should be fun to see those two

 

[iFR3SHi]

Great move Eddy Curry gets another fatboy on the team

. I think we should go after a shotblocker and a PURE consistent shooter. Q-Rich is too inconsistent to be our shooter. But there goes D-Lee's minutes almost. Since last year we never had a legitment starter at PF D-Lee got alot of minutes off the bench. After this trade I think we can grab a 6-8 seed since we are in the East

I think this was quite a good move by isaiah thomas, he's always doing the right things come draft night so good on him! now I think the Knicks new acquisition being Zach Randolph will help establish the knicks frontcourt as a tough one to defend, could be very intresting indeed.

The Knicks also got Demetrius Nichols in the trade.

 

[knicksfan3]

I was shocked that Isiah pulled the trigger on such a great move...its so unlike him. Now we just gotta keep Zach Randolph from going to the NY Strip Clubs every night and try to get him to focus on playing well. If he does, we could be in for a decent season.

 

[DRob-50-Forever]

Well atleast they have someone who can rebound now.

 

[blackngold15]

Randolph is an off and onn guy. hes a locker room hazard. when u guys r losing hell take it out onevryone else. you guys really dont want this guy. pluss frye is a young and coming powerforward!!! watch out for them blazers!!!

 

[WELCOMEtotheJUNGLE]

This trade just doesn't look like it's going to fare out well in my opinion. Randolph was having issues in Portland, what's it going to be like in the city that never sleeps. Just my opinion, but I think there is a huge chance that Randolph could have a colossal flop in NYC.

 

[primetime]

Zach Randolph is a great player. He is always one of the best rebounders in the nba and gets around 20 ppg. Even though he is a weak defensive player he is still a great player. Isiah isnt a bad coach at all(GM maybe?) and He's starting to rally his guys. I think they should suit him up.

Portland didnt get as much value for Zach as I wouldve thought, even though this gives Portland great depth at the 1 and 2. PG: Jack/Green/FrancisSG: Roy/FrancisSF: Udoka/NicholsPF: AldridgeC: Odensomething like that, its not too bad, providing Aldridge steps up his game this year.

I was just trying to figure out their situation for positions 1-2-3, which will be hard for them to figure out except for Roy of course.

[edwaudo]

I don't like the move. Both Eddie and Zach need the ball in the post. This is truly a situation where there will not be enough touches to go around. So you would figure the next step is to trade Eddie Curry?

[NYK]

why because I got some confidence in my knicks.

 

[Let Em Hear This]

Only thing I like about this trade is the players we got rid off. But I really don't like the players we got in return. Randolph's gonna take Lee's minutes. Plus drugs are probably more accessible in NY than Portland. Isiah should know better than to trade for a Portland WeedBlazer.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Just when you think New York?s salary situation can?t possibly spiral any further out of control, they sign Jerome James to a long-term deal. Just when you think New York?s salary situation can?t possibly spiral any further out of control, they sign Eddy Curry to a long term deal. Just when you think New York?s salary situation can?t possibly spiral any further out of control, they sign Jared Jeffries to a long term deal. Just when you think New York?s salary situation can?t possibly spiral any further out of control, they trade for Steve Francis. Should I keep going? There is really nothing left to say at this point, but I guess I?ll take a shot some good ol? fashioned Isaiah blasting (it has been a while, come to think of it). A frontcourt of Randolph and Curry might look good on paper, but here are two players who don?t complement each other well at all. Randolph got in shape a season ago and is one of the league?s elite post scorers, but clearly has a propensity for showing up out of shape and is an adequate defender at best. Curry is essentially the same player, but to an extreme ? he?s got the same scoring tools with an extra two inches. Unfortunately, that would be two inches around the middle as well as at the shoulders, and Randolph will probably look like Bill Russell compared to what Curry brings to the table defensively. Add in Jerome James, and you have approximately 900 pounds of motivationally challenged, defense-lacking beef. So even though Isaiah does have a track record of drafting well in the late first round, he appears to be mired in quicksand and attempting to dig himself out with a spoon. These short-sighted moves are only sinking the franchise deeper and deeper. But at least Renaldo Balkman and Wilson Chandler will look good sitting on the bench next to each other, and both will be perfect trade fodder the next time an established pseudo all-star signs a big contract, blows out his knee, and wears out his welcome with his prior team?</div>http://www.draftexpress.com/viewarticle.php?a=2154 Sums up my thoughts exactly.

 

[MaRdYC26]

Eh, I agree with that guy to an extent, but I still think it was a great trade. We gave away garbage anyway, and we got Randolph, some guards to add depth off the bench, and another young talent in Demtrius Nichols who I think could be a steal.
