Denver Will Try To Deal Martin For Randolph
7th May, 2006 - 12:21 pm

Denver Post - Rumor out of Denver, according to the Denver Post, is that the Nuggets will look to deal Kenyon Martin to Portland in exchange for Zach Randolph.

Randolph, like Martin, has had difficulty getting along with his head coach and has made overtures about wanting out of the Pacific Northwest.

Denver placed calls last offseason for Randolph and the Blazers weren't interested, but the situation has changed.

Nuggets' assistant GM Mark Warkentein helped draft Randolph, another reason why a trade might be logical.

why would the Blazers take back that much salary for an older, injured player? I don't think the Blazers move Randolph unless its for an ending contract.

except Zach is younger and can create his own shot. why would the Blazers trade for an older, less talented (albeit better defender) version of their same problem in a rebuilding situation? Why wouldn't they just clear the books. The Blazers are in a better financial position than the Nuggets, they aren't going to take back long term salary where they don't need to.

maybe this is the start of a gigantic three way though:

DEN gets Randolph

NYK gets Martin, Ratliff

POR gets Jalen, Mo Taylor, 2 first round picks

Zach is 24, Kmart is 29. Zach can post up, Kmart really doesnt have a post game. I'd take Zach over Kmart at this point but both have a ton of problems.

I think Milwaukee will make a run at Randolph.

Harris said Boguts going to the 5.

they might offer somethig Magloire and Simmons for Randolph and filler.

Zach, for all of his attitude problems, is a MONSTER!!!! He is good with a potential to be great player. K- Mart peaked with J. Kidd, he will never be better than he was with then, imo.

This would make a ton of sense but the NBA GM's prove year after year that they have no clue what they are doing.

I wouldn't mind trading to get Zach for the Knicks. Zach is a true scorer down low and he can hit the jumper outside. I'd rather have Zach than Jermaine O'neal.....and if the Knicks are trying to get a player to start over Frye than Zach is the player, not K-Mart. K-Mart is not even a good rebounder to begin with. Zach is already an established 20/10 player when healthy.

Portland don't want him? I'd gladly take him! See if the Knicks can pull Steve Blake too. Knock down two birds with one stone.

It is ashame what has happen to the Knicks and Blazers, 2 teams that have been the staple of consistent playoff basketball for almost 15 years. Now they are 1 and 2 in losers and bad attitude departments.

marbury was an established 20/8 guy...look how that turned out.

we gotta stop with the headcases. i was a big proponent of dmiles but after seeing how he acted and what he said down the stretch of the season, we have to stay away from him.

zach? NO THANKS.

I like Randolph's game as well.

True workhorse on the offensive end.

Who isn't a head case nowadays? There have been guys that were **** heads their whole careers but latched on to the right team and coach and became champions.

Knicks can't get bonified winners via trade cuz teams aint letting them go.

Knicks might have one in frye but he's playing for a coach that just doesn't like young players.

Its a crap shoot. The draft could get the knicks what? Another frye? The knicks missed the lebron, melo, wade, bosh draft.

Zach might be a headcase but he suited up and played hard when he was out there. He was even playing hurt.

Isiah may have screwed himself but at least he still left himself room to manuver around.

zach only plays on one end of the court. we might as well let frye start and develop him. if all zach did was play defense, that's another story...but he doesn't.

That's the thing. What's wrong with the players the knicks have? Frye and curry are a perfect balance. They are just young. What's wrong with them growing together? Why can't the coach see that?

There are no players out there. No two sided players. if there are no one is trading them and if they are its because they suck, old or they are hurt.

Its the life of a knick fan!
