    How awesome would it be to snag Jordan Hill AND Anthony Randolph from the Knicks for Tracy???

    Eyes on you Donnie Walsh!

    While I believe Randolph has a world of talent, I'm just not sure he has the mental makeup to succeed. I just don't know, I'm pretty confused at what this team really needs right now to turn it around.

    I wouldn't like that trade at all. In fact, I would hate it.

    After he hangs out with Luis, Battier and Chuck for a little while, he will develop, and mature, imo.


    I have always said it, we have the PERFECT team, and the PERFECT role models, to foster young talent. Bring on Demarcus, bring on Randolph, bring on the potential, because If Yao doesn't workout, we need a youth movement.

    Ish Smith
    Jermaine Taylor
    Stanley Robinson
    Anthony Randolph
    Jordan Hill

    Would be a fun little And 1 mixtape team to tank with until we find that superstar that you need to win...;)

    Totally kidding guys!

    But not really though

    I understand what you're saying Knote, makes sense, just not sure he and his game will mature like you think. I agree the Rockets are a good team to bring guys like him in but not sure I'd give up a first for him. First round talent yes, guess I just want that superstar. (I know I know, easier said than done)

    Not sure that is worth a first round pick. I'd rather see if I could use that first round pick in a trade for a real star. This would help the Knicks more than it would help us.

    If we trade for Randolph I wonder who we're going to cut, maybe package Jared Jeffries up with the 2011 right-to-swap NY Knick pick in exchange for Randolph.

    The same was said about Jordan Hill, and honestly, I am very glad we have Jordan Hill in full development mode on the Rockets.

    We have had success with potential bigs sitting in Dantoni's doghouse.

    I tend to agree. Also, I'm not too enamored with becoming the KnicKings.

    Who is the real star you guys want to trade for?

    Frankly, I just don't see any available. Not one.

    My guess would be that they cut Ish Smith. Did you mean that they include this season's first round pick?

    Hill and Randolph, such a massive contrast to the Yao & Scola we are used to.

    I like!

    Randolph has got to be the most overrated guy in this board. He has never done anything in his career other than put up below average numbers on mediocre teams

    Is 16 and 12 with 2.5 blocks per 36, as a 19 year old rookie, average?

    Hmm...

    36 per doesnt mean anything if he cant play those kind of minutes. there is a reason that such crappy things have or are trying to dump him.
