http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/210819/Blazers_Knicks_Could_Do_Przybilla_For_Randolph_Swap this seems to fit chos trade types also how are we not going after asik if hes being shopped. send them rudy if roy is back! http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/210804/Bulls_Rockets_Discuss_Asik_For_Lee_Trade
Didn't we draft Asik to begin with and traded him to the Bulls? Not sure if he is worth Rudy, however.
It did mention that the Blazers still have interest in Randolph though, the rest is obviously a leap in logic by a reporter speculating how a deal might take place. I am pretty sure they would not have mentioned the Blazers still have interest, unless somebody from the Blazers had called and inquired. Randolphs agent has requested a trade and is probably seeking trade partners, that is what agents do. So that being said, no need to shoot the messenger.
There is a big disparity in pay - so something else will have to be added going to Portland - and since they will not give you anything good for Joel - it will be expensive junk. This requires either a 3rd team or it needs to be AR for the Bayless trade exception.
it says "or" not + we would be taking a flyer on a player with upside that he may never realize. who's the more valuable player now is debatable. do you think joel couldn't crack the knicks rotation? in any case joel's expiring by itself is potentially worth more than randolph in trade.
lets face it guys there are a ton of expirings this year and Joel's play is crap, nothing against him but coming back from those two surgeries is friggin tough. he's simply not worth much and you are kidding yourself if you think he is.
Mixum it's okay, you can just make a daily post that says "I can't comprehend what I read" and save us all a bunch of time.
You get Randolph, and you hand him to Bill Bayno and let him go to work. Randolph doesn't have a whole lot of years left on his contract, so it's not a big risk, and he isn't paid that much. Meanwhile last time I looked Joel could barely move.
Well given how much Pryzbilla is struggling and Randolph's upside (especially getting to play behind and learn from his closest physical comp in the league with Camby) who cares if it says the Blazers are offering him or not, this would be a very good move for the Blazers.
you seem to be confusing the questions who cares if the blazers are offering joel with who cares if thread titles are inaccurate and misleading (something mixum does a lot). or potentially a very bad one depending on what the other pieces involved were.
Asik looked good against us. if he looks that good against the rest of the league then we should try to get him.
I wonder how much of that had to do with how bad Joel looked. he was AWFUL that game. They were getting a ton of offensive rebounds early, and after the first few, I started to notice the majority were to his side or his guy.
