    Yea I think he was the one that called the Norris/weatherspoon trade, and the uniform thing. (forgot specifics.) This guys seems totally legit, but I am amazed that Portland would do this. Maybe there logic is that Stoudemire, Francis, Raheem, Davis, Anderson, Miles and Pike would be a strong core. But Why it wouldnt be Raheem instead befuddles me.

    As for Philly, Maybe we give them Woods and some cap room?

    Any thought on how a player like Randolph would get along with JVG and his system?

    don't get me wrong, i'd do this trade in a heartbeat, but it's a pipe dream.

    zach randolph??? doesn't he have weight issues? that would be so funny because we drafted griffin ahead of him. another funny thing is we drafted nachbar ahead of woods, the other guy we're supposedly getting..

    This trade was discussed yesterday on 610AM so this isn't a Rocket Rich exclusive. It was on ESPN Insider. Besides that, why would Portland give up Randolph?

    Maybe they realize that he is not going to be the man. They also just aquired SAR.

    It's possible that the person who gave ROCKET RICH NYC the info had misrepresented what he read at ESPN, but RRNYC isn't making up the info he was told. And it's clear he's got legitimate contact(s).

    Not an exclusive, but the fact that RICH got it from his source too means it has legs.

    One of the posters on this board created a thread with a column written by Smith that suggested Randolph to Houston for Francis. I can't for the life of me find it though. It was just here this morning.
