The guys loved playing with him last year. Too much is made of that whole think about a guy being a cancer to a team. Guys are paid too much money to be concerned with anything other than what a guy can give you on the court and Randolph has produced everywhere he's played. The Clippers are a team that needs as much as they can get. They can't be looking at building for the future. Playing in LA, in the same building as the Lakers, the future is always now. There would have been no problem with keeping Randolph. Kaman and Camby aren't the healthiest of big men and they need the depth. If they want to trade him later, after Griffin has started to prove himself, trade him at the trade deadline or next year when his contract is an expiring one and get a good player. I am positive they could have gotten more than Richardson.

Dude. He is owed $33 million dollars, got a DUI and punched a guy last year. They won 19 games with him. you would be hard pressed to find anyone else to think Randolph and Griffith are compatable.
You are SO wrong about the cancer aspect. It is THE biggest problem that NBA coaches face. There are lots of talented guys that dont care about anything but their numbers. Randolph is the poster child of that club. He was a huge mistake and Memphis is getting them off the $33 million dollar hook. When you find a way out of a huge mistake you take it.
They arent a contender. For the life of me I cant see why you think this team is a contender. They have some nice players, but this is a dysfunctional roster which was made a little less disfunctional.
