Randolph fined, suspended for a game
April 17, 2006

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- Zach Randolph was suspended one game and fined Monday by the Portland Trail Blazers for leaving the arena during a game against Golden State.

Randolph, the Trail Blazers' top scorer at 18 points per game, will miss Monday night's road game against the Golden State Warriors. Randolph, who was sidelined with a knee injury, was fined for missing the team photo before Saturday night's 86-81 loss to the Warriors.

General manager John Nash said Randolph "committed a series of separate actions that were insubordinate and detrimental to the team culminating in his decision to leave the arena during the third quarter of Saturday's game while on the inactive list."

The amount of the fine was not released.

At some point, when "problem" guys like Rasheed and Stoudamire leave the team and don't have nearly as many problems, one would think the Blazers would

a. stop taking chances in the draft
b. stop signing bad attitude guys
c. take a good long look at the organization
