Randolph On the Move?
"The success of the Blazers has hurt Zach Randolph's trade value, but there are rumblings the Nuggets and the Knicks have discussed a multi-player trade involving the disgruntled power forward. Nuggets GM Mark Warkentien was the former Blazers director of scouting when Portland tabbed Randolph in the NBA Draft. It is believed names discussed in a potential deal included Linas Kleiza, Eduardo Najera, Steven Hunter and J.R. Smith for Randolph and another Knick. The Knicks appear most interested in up-and-comer Kleiza" -- New York Post
I honestly do not know much about Kleiza. Looking him up he looks pretty good. In only his 2nd season in the league he is averaging just about 12 points a game in only 25 minutes, off the bench. I like Randolph as a player, but feel he is never going to be a good guy to have on a team and should be moved. It said a deal is unlikely that includes Randolph, but you never know.
