Is Zach Randolph on the Trading Block or Not?
It depends on who you listen to, I guess
According to John Canzano of The Oregonian, the Knicks are looking to shop their southpaw big man.
NBA source told me via telephone on Wednesday night that Zach Randolph is on the trading block, and that he’s likely to end up in Milwaukee.
Randolph’s numbers have taken a hit this season and he has struggled while playing alongside Eddy Curry, but I’d be really surprised if the Knicks got of him so quickly.
You don’t just trade away a potential 20/10 guy unless you’re getting a whole lot in return, something I don’t think the Bucks - what, they’re gonna give away Charlie V. and Andrew Bogut for him? - can offer at the moment.
Isiah Thomas, fresh off avoiding a suspension for making contact with a ref, says Z-Bo isn’t going anywhere. Thomas also claims that every player on the Knicks roster is “untouchable” as the trade deadline looms. I can’t even come up with an appropriate joke here, that’s just pitiful.

This is a good idea. Portland drafts Zach and goes in the toilet. New York trades for Zach and goes in the toilet. Meanwhile Portland is the feel good story of the league.

I’d take Charlie over Z-Bo on this knicks team…at least Charlie doesn’t mind passing

The Bucks may need a lot of things, but we do NOT need Zach Randolph. Not the ideal candidate for teaching Easy Yi the ropes. Plus, wasn’t there some talk on this site yesterday about how this Canzano dude is generally full of crap?

Every player on the Knicks roster may be untouchable, but what about the women in the front office? Yeah, it was obvious, but someone had to do it.

Phil B says:
oops, meant canzano, but i’m probably right on both accounts.

Thomas also claims that every player on the Knicks roster, but none of the female members of the front office, is “untouchable” as the trade deadline looms. oh wait… you said appropriate… whooopsies!!!

Is Pat Burke still out there? I think he’d make a fantastic addition to the Knicks.

Paniscus says:
Canzano has had it in for Zach for years, so everybody should realize that he has an ax to grind here.

JackBrown says:
Listen to Paniscus. In addition to his thing against Randolph, Canzano is sort of the prototype douchey sportswriter. Sort of surprised he hasn’t landed on ESPN yet. Zing!

hursty says:
untouchable as in the saunders woman? i cant see the bucks giving up a number one pick (bogut) who plays 35-40 minutes a night at centre, to go to the Knicks where he would pick up Eddys fat trail, (and minutes). that would make no sense, besides the bucks would do anything to keep the bad eastern teams bad, in order to give them a chance at making the 8th seed.

Honestly, I couldn’t care less about the Knicks anymore. Please stop writing about them…unless Stern decides that they’d all be better off in the D-Leauge.

Has everyone forgotten the Chairman’s distaste for Milwaulkee, what about Z-Bo for Yi-Bo, plus another big contract like Bobby Simmons.

How ironic is it that Eddy Curry is actually MEDICALLY LISTED as having ‘heart problems’.

Is Isiah Thomas medically listed for anything?
