Re: Isaiah Got Smart!! This might be the best move he will ever do in NY.Look at that front line now!!What's your reaction?
Re: Isaiah Got Smart!! Wow....they have a good chance of being half decent now...It doesn't help the chemistry much since Zach is also a ball hog...but atleast they've now got 2 post studs, and alot of skilled perimiter players...They've actually got a good shot at the playoffs now....you never know...
Re: Isaiah Got Smart!! Didn't think I'd say the Knicks in the playoffs for at least another 3 years...Hell, this move makes them contenders in the East.
Re: Isaiah Got Smart!! Yeah it really does, even though neither Randolph or Curry can play alot of defense.But they're not only big vertically, but Horizontally tooRandolph: 258 lbsCurry: 285 lbsAnd then michael Sweetney is 270!Good Lord, they can take up the whole paint easily.
Re: Isaiah Got Smart!! Very good trade. They got rid of Francis so Marbury will have a lot more freedom, they added a great rebounder and a true #1 option in Randolph. The only thing I don't like is Randolph/Curry is a very, very soft frontcourt defensively, but it isn't like Frye was a bruiser anyway.
Re: Isaiah Got Smart!! is this the best the blazers could have done with zach randolph???and I LIKED freddy jones! go ducks
Re: Isaiah Got Smart!! on the other hand, blazers get a lot more cash to spend, which theyll probly use to resign aldridge, roy, and oden after their rookie contracts expire. still.....steve francis?? :x

However, the Knicks have to trade away some of their SF's. They have Quentin Richardson, Jared Jeffries, and now Martell Webster along with Wilson Chandler. They could move a couple of those guys to help improve other area's of the Knicks roster. This likely pushes the Knicks into the Playoffs.

He has no paint pressence and all of his scoring is from 15-18 ft. jumpshots.Steve Francis is washed up and has had chronic knee problems the last few years. I have a question for you though, how disfunctional is Randolph off the court?

Re: Isaiah Got Smart!! just a reminder, this deal is not finalized. from oregonlive.comI have just been informed that the trade involving Zach Randolph going to the New York Knicks has NOT been finalized. As of right now, the deal is only a proposed trade.Confirmation of the deal could be finalized in as soon as three hours, but it could also be nixed.The proposed deal is the same as was reported earlier: Randolph, Freddie Jones and Dan Dickau to New York for point guard Steve Francis and forward Channing Frye.If, or when, the deal is finalized, I will update.- Jason Quick Jason quick has been the first to break all the news today in regards to blazers so id trust him...
Re: Isaiah Got Smart!! Don't give that "finalized" BS.When was the last time a draft day deal didn't go through?
