I would'nt do it if was Portland unless they offer a draft pick. Martin is injury prone and has an attitude. Randolph is young and is a good player. Martin is a good player too, but when you have Martin your taking a risk.

Season by season he is involved in something. He's young and huge risk ,which I see Denver would like to to take. Portland isn't working out and if he goes to a different team he might change his attitude and become more mature. Portland is lucky they are getting an offer from somebody because no body really wants a distraction like Randolph on their team. Martin's attitude is no where compared to Randolph's at all. Martin is a big risk because of his knee, but I would rather take him than the Zach Randolph that's currently in Portland.
That wouldn't be that bad of a deal for the Nuggets. Randolph is a decent player. And, Martin is injury prone. But, there are ups and downs to it. Besides those. really what NbaBalelr said above me sums it up.
I think the risk is worth it. Like you guys said, Kenyon Martin is pretty injury prone and I don't think he'll get back to the level he was in New Jersey. Martin also showed a lot of baggage near the end of the season and the playoffs as well, but Randolph's had the bigger track record of off-court troubles. Randolph's still young, if George Karl can work the magic that he did with Carmelo Anthony, it can be a very dangerous inside-outside threat.
if you ask me, i would do it. seems like a pretty fair trade, as long as they stay healthy and out of trouble.
I would do this if I were Denver. Like everyone says, Martin is injury prone and it looks like he'll be a huge problem if he stays. Maybe both of their attitudes will change on a new team. Another upside for Denver is Randolph is 2, 3 years younger.
