to Dallas for Josh Howard? I know this sounds like blasphemy....but you've gotta give up something to get something....and Randolph has skills that we need....not saying to do it...but can this be considered?
If the Blazers draft Oden, and decide they then want to move Randolph for a small forward (since Miles ain't going to cut it), what options might they have in terms of making a trade that benefits both teams?
Perhaps:
to New Jersey for Richard Jefferson?
to Washington for Jamison?
to Seattle in a sign-and-trade for Lewis?
Any other ideas? thoughts?

terry
The only one Ive heard so far is a sign and trade for Rashard Lewis. i also heard that the Mavs are intrested in a sign and trade for Lewis for Terry
Oh god... please let Dallas get Lewis and Trade Josh Howard...
PLEASE...
Stupidest Idea EVER....
Howard was the only player on the floor for the Mavericks that wasn't afraid of the Warriors...
who suggested that?
this is a ZACH RANDOLPH trade thread.
And Howard played with the same collective vagina as every other Mav against GS...not sure what you were watching. Stackhouse and Croshere were the only guys who had any balls out there at all.
Maybe the Wizards can give up Caron and one of their stiff centers (Haywood) for Randolph.
I'd love to see Avery get ahold of Zach...
no team that it would make sense to trade for zach would want him.
Its going to be hard to move Randolph with that contract
I honestly don't understand the insistence to trade Zach Randolph. He seemed to behave himself and at the least avoid being a detractor in that clubhouse....all while putting up 20/10 games left and right. Because of the perceived image problems and his lack of athleticism, he's a guy with a guaranteed negative return on investment...he'll give you far more on your team than anything you could get for him.
For now, I say the Blazers should keep him as their primary offensive weapon in the post, and let Greg Oden mature into the all-around player.
At the point when it's clear Greg Oden has surpassed Randolph on offense, then you look to trade....but to give away one of 4 or 5 guys in the league who averaged 20 and 10 last year for a one-dimensional, shot-happy SF like Rashard Lewis would be stupid in my opinion.
This year, Zach took a leave of absence from the team for a few games for personal reasons that were explained as having to attend the funeral of either a family member or close friend of the families. Then there were news reports of him partying at strip clubs while his team was playing regular season games.
Then you add his other history of team disciplinary problems, his fluctuating weight/conditioning problems, and his huge contract, and you have a player that is tough to move.
Perhaps Sacramento will take him if Portland takes Ron Artest back in return. Otherwise, I'm not so sure too many teams want to have to deal with Zach. It would have made sense for the Pacers to pursue him to help JO especially since Zach is from Indiana, but after the Pacers dumped all the problem players this season in that trade, I doubt they would pursue another one. Memphis might take a look at trading for him to help Pau Gasol, but again, that franchise dealt away guys like Bonzi and Jason Williams because they were lockerroom cancers or distractions. Not sure they want him and his baggage. I don't know what team would give up anything of real value to take on Zach and all his problems and his contract.
I could see Miami, Houston, Orlando, Washington, and Chicago all being intrested bringing in Randolph, just going to be hard to match up that salary
bulls would be stupid to get zach
NO NO NO NO NO NO. Randolph would be perfect if A) he wasn't owed $60 million over the next four years and B) he wasn't an uncoachable head. I'd give them Terry and if they balked, tell them to eat it.
I would add Cleveland because they lack an interior presence and might be looking to make changes if they get bounced again this year. Again though, it comes down to salary...
Keeping Randolph is maybe the best thing to do for Portland. With his contract, his reputation, his knee surgery, his trade value isn't that high.
A Randolph/Aldridge/Oden rotation at PF/C is nasty.
Randolph/Aldridge/Oden
Paint Offense/Perimeter Offense/Lockdown Defense
Sick...especially since the middle guy isn't a defensive slouch either.
I am all for Josh Howard and Devon's expiring contract to land Zach! Dirk can slide back to the 3 move Zach to the 4 and keep Diop/Damp at the 5. Mavs really could use an inside scorer and Dirk is a natural SF. Do it Cuban!!
Yeah he looked really natural guarding Stephen JacksonI am all for Josh Howard and Devon's expiring contract to land Zach! Dirk can slide back to the 3 move Zach to the 4 and keep Diop/Damp at the 5. Mavs really could use an inside scorer and Dirk is a natural SF. Do it Cuban!!Dirk is a PF only. He gets beat up at the 5 position and he is too slow to guard 3's.
i would take the chance for Randolph if we could give up Terry (and George although im not sure if Portland wants him). we have to keep Howard, only guy in the league i'd trade him for is KG. (realistic trades)
Well sadly we have to do something. WE NEED AN INSIDE FORCE BADLY! This team wont win without a consistent low post scorer. Dirk is a ty defender regardless of what position he plays so unless we deal him, we have to deal with that weakness of his. Howard is NOT a 2 while Terry is. Plus Howard is a vagina in the 4th but Terry has more set of balls. If we keep this team/ dont improve our paint offense, we will deal with another playoff outing.Yeah he looked really natural guarding Stephen Jackson
Yeah cuz he's REALLY effective at guarding 4'sYeah he looked really natural guarding Stephen Jackson
You're not getting defense either way out of Dirk. I don't know if I'm for trading Howard, but I think I'd take that risk to get a big-time post scorer like Randolph. That way, instead of demanding that Dirk play down low, he can stretch the defense like he used to be able to do.
Jason Terry and a bunch of spares isn't getting us Zach Randolph. I don't think Mavs fans realize that you've got to give up value to get value. A streaky shooting tweener who doesn't pass well isn't nearly as valuable to other teams as an all-around strong SF.
Rashard just gives you more of what you don't need. A jumpshooting big man with no post skill, and a mediocre defender. This "ajh18" really has a point. An moderately unstoppable post presence is what you need. Maybe not HIM but not a bad idea...
