Randolph was allegedly caught street racing with two loaded guns in his vehicle. Randolph was the passenger and the guns on-hand were licensed as consealed weapons. Officer Matthew Wells also claimed that he could smell a distinct marijuana odor.</div>
No, doesn't seem like it. But not a lot of people watch the TrailBlazers play, i think they should move to another place. Randolf has to go...he's wasted so much seasons with them. I don't see why he's still staying there, they haven't improven much from what i've seen.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting TheFreshPrince:</div><div class="quote_post">he needs to leave. why does this stuff happen in portland, is it a rough city or something?</div> Not at all, it's a beautiful city, but there's not much to do out there so I'm sure these guys get bored and take risks to have some form of entertainment.
^^Thats what i thought, but it seems like to be on the team you need like 3 loaded guns on you at all times. Didnt bassy have a gun on a plane a couple of months ago?

The night life is ok but not enough for young millionare male athletes. They probably just get bored and need to do something, because of their stature (who wouldn't notice a Tricked out Escalade street racing?) they just get caught more than the rest of us lol.
This franchise has to make a move IMO, they're not doing anythin' here and maybe a change of scenery somewhere more remote with less drugs like OKC or something would be nice, just place to set these guys and the clubs record straight.

The guy is making over $10Million a year, buy a private plane and just fly back and forth anytime you want.
They don't need to move they need new management. Clean house, infact like I said in the other thread, Sell the Franchise. Get someone to get some real basketball people in here and the only one to keep is McMillian. Re-Build the Franchise, and re-build it around your Coach and some of your better behaved people and ones that have potential, like Martell Webster.
Welcome to the Warriors' world. Ever since "choke-gate" and the curse of Chris Webber, the Warriors have been rebuilding ever since with good behavior as priority. At least the Blazers were good enough to go to the playoffs in consecutive years.
