    Troy Murphy has always been a solid player. The man has range for a big man which is desirable in today's game. He can also rebound and from what I can tell, he can defend quite well. Another thing that has always worked in his favor is that the boy can hustle as well.

    I don't know your roster, but I'm guessing he isn't asked to score a whole lot, so as that consisten rebounder, defender, and occasional scorer, he was great.</div>
    lol nice, yea anyway I thought I need rebounding and a guy who can shoot for when melo and redd get doubled team.

    You like how I didn't ignore you?! [​IMG]
    Now GIVE ME YOUR NEXT PICK!

    I didn't ignore him first, therefore I think I deserve the pick [​IMG]
    </div>
    Hey if anyone makes the right deal I will gladly give them the pick lol

    I replied before pegs...that shall suffice.

    CK:

    I don't hate Zach Randolph. He is just not a good player. Tell me this. How many pieces have you seen or how many people have praised Zach Randolph compared to trashing him?

    The guy is a black hole on offense. He gets the ball in the post and doesn't pass out, or will take a ridiculously stupid shot. He's a bad locker room influence, with legal troubles. He needs the ball to do anything on offensive, and has an ego that forces him to be a main option. With Dwyane Wade, someone who needs the ball in his hands to be effective, that's just not going to work.

    I hope you don't reply to me that he plays good defense. [​IMG]

    Because you guys are obviously in love with stats, but I'm not defending them, as you can see. Stats mean nothing to me.


    I don't see where the irony was?

    You pointed to W/L (numbers) as a reason why ZBo is a bad player. I merely pointed out that the W/L doesn't make your team look good by your own reasoning. But you (and I) see the potential in those players IF they had quality teammates, right?

    This late in the draft, ZBo was a fine pick, but you had to dump on it and him.

    Completely meaningless. Just like asking: What does it say when you take a backup from one of the worst teams and make him a starter on your team?

    I noticed GK6 also bashed the Randolph pick, but no one began arguing with him.

    I picked the best player available to fill a role on my team, and I'm quite satisfied with the pick. I also passed up ZBo, because he wouldn't fill that role. Nobody's saying ZBo is anything but ~100th best player in the league, which is about right.

    Sounds like it's your opinion that it was a fine pick.

    I didn't dump on CK. I dumped on his pick. I didn't say "HEY CK YOU SO STUPID FOR TAKIN ZBO LOLZ." I've given my fair share of plaudits for picks in this thread also. I don't go around bashing picks only.

    And remember, ZBO was the main man on those teams. My players were not.

    Agreed. Zach's 20 and 10 are irrelevant. There is a difference between being a talented player and a good player. Randolph is the most selfish player in the NBA, and it's not even close. He is a ball stopper with an inflated ego. He will never pass out of the post. That won't change just because Dwyane Wade is on his team. He's a terrible locker room presence and teammate. He's a thug. He is a plodder and a lazy defender as well. His style of play just isn't conducive to winning basketball, despite how talented he may be.

    Randolph is a cancer. He is a horrible basketball player that will not contribute to winning. There is good reason Randolph is a valueless player among the teams in the NBA.

    Minny's team looked a lot like those Portland teams.

    What about it?
