    What's going to happen to Darius Miles and Zach Randolph are these two players who have a bad stigma attached to them going to get traded or not?

    If Yes where and who for?
    If No will they sit on the bench so the younger players can develop or will they start?

    they wont be on the bench. randolph is an all-star calliber player. Miles wont sit, but he will likely be a 6-7th man.

    though, i do think that they should be moved

    They can't go forward with Miles on the team. He would take time away from guys like Roy. I could see Randolph staying, but they need to trade Miles.

    I think they're both going to get traded. It's going to be tough to move them though. Each are on huge deals that'll eat up cap space and neither have been known to have the greatest attitudes and work ethics in the world. The Blazers are going to have to throw together some enticing packages and probably take on at least one bad, overpaid contract in order to get rid of one of them.

    Those two are probably the Stephon Marbury and Steve Francis of Forwards. Nobody wants them and your stuck with both.

    I'm inclined to think the Blazers want one or both gone but will settle for one. Maybe whoever's left will know to act right as he is alone.

    If i was the GM for the Blazers, I would have to trade them both. Randolph obviously has a much better value than Miles but I'm sure someone would trade for them. Call the Knicks or something

    By the end of the summer, I really think Miles will be gone, but Randolph will not. I think the Blazer organization with hang on to Z-Bo a little longer.

    Both put up good numbers from last season. They'll probably try and trade both... I'm guessing some team will take atleast one of them, both their contracts are pretty big. Probably Miles.

    Miles has more value IMO. He's cheaper and can produce for what his salary is worth. Last year at the start of the year he was amazing averaging like 17 PPG? Filling up the stats sheets before he went down with an injury. Rumors had him an Jaric trading places, though it's just a rumor, KG could get Miles to play to his max. Jaric on the other hand, I'm not sure bout him in Portland after his performance last year.

    Randolph has a huge maximum contract and will be harder to trade. Really, can you think of a team that would want him for his price, plus his attitude and production? I honestly can't think of one. Maybe Philly if somehow they unloaded Webber and got good value back from another team for AI, but I doubt it.

    Id really like to see them hold onto Randolph. He may be a little trouble, but he doesnt have the track record Darius does, and they are more full at Darius' position.

    I dont see the Blazers holding on to D-miles and Randolph. They want out and I think that it is time for a change in Portland. Getting rid of these two players would help rebuild our reputation.

    Miles had a great season, a few injury issues. But what a great game he has! Hopefully they will trade him to a real team! Randolph is a fatas$ who needs to get in shape, if not, more injuries for that fat bastard will be the result.

    Miles is a badas$ all the way.

    Answer_AI03 - C-Webb to portland? I don't think philly would want both randolph and miles.

    LRVBADASSBALLIN - Miles is good and like you say if he got put on the right team he could be more effective.
