That's really unfair. His first four years as a starter, he played for the Jail Blazers. Then he went to the Knicks. Then the Clippers. Bill Russell, Michael Jordan, and Magic Johnson would have a hard time having a winning percentage playing with those teams. I understand that a guy can be a 20-10 guy and not be clutch. Garnett to me was that way to me for years. Chris Webber to some extent was that way. A lot of people believe Dirk Nowitzki is that same way. While some guys are more box score (Randolph) and some guys are more results (Duncan), there is just no way in the world that you can be a 20-10 guy in this league and not be a good player. Now that's impossible. Nobody is calling a top 10 or even top 20 player. Nobody is calling him a great teammate. I'm not even arguing that he's not overpaid a little. But for the kind of production that he gives a team, he's worth much more than a Quentin Richardson. For a coach to have the luxury of penciling in a guy that will get you 20-10 a night every night, year after year, that's something any coach would take. Randolph has been among the better players of his peers since high school. You just do not succeed and produce the way he does and not be a good player.
