Do you honestly think Zach Randolph contributes to winning?
</div>
On my team he will, maybe on a team like Knicks he wouldn't.
Remember that he has Wade a superstar, then Odom which will be the second scoring option, and then he can compete with Chandler for the 3rd option on the team.
I understand if you hate a player but give credit where its due.
</div>
I don't hate Zach Randolph. He's just a terrible basketball player.
He has never contributed to a winning team, and probably never will. There is no credit to give. It is not due. Explain to me why there is?
Why will he contribute to winning on your team?
</div>
You're making the accusations that he's a terrible player, you prove that first then we'll talk.
He's can average 20, 10 night in and night out on any team.

Numbers don't correlate to wins.
