Even if the rumor was true, I would be surprised if Portland did this trade. DOn't they already have like 5 2's/3's?
Big surprise! ... so Milwaukee didn't want to trade Desmond Mason, Michael Redd, and draft picks for Zach Randolph, a PF who has had recent run ins with the law? Wow. When I read this on hoopshype.com, they totally had me fooled. Honestly.
No surprise her. This would have been a rip off for the Bucks. And I am proud of them for not standing up to the hype.

Court you must not have understood what I said. I am saying the Bucks would have been ripped off, not the Blazers.

I think the trade would've benifited both teams, both teams get an up and coming star. Clearly the Bucks gave more talent but big men are much harder to find then SG's.
wow.....i like how people just make up shit about random trades....why would Portland trade their best player (whom they are building a team around)??
I think the trade wasnt really good for either team, both would give up two players they teams had drafted and made into the teams franchise`s leader, and the Bucks would have much depth at the 2 anymore either.
if was portland id do it, but the bucks would get ripped off big. Redd (who mad the allstar game) alone could get randolph(who didnt) but i wouldnt even do that if i were the bucks much less give up another future allstar in mason.

It can't be because he has a bad attitude. That's just contagious in Portland. I didn't even no that this was going on at all. It was a no brainer as far as the Bucks are concerned. D-Mase and Redd + draft picks. Even somebody who knows nothing about basketball would sense that this would be a bad deal for them.
