The season before he became a starter in Portland, the Blazers weren't a bad team. The sank to 41 wins in his first year. Had nothing to do with two of their three leading scorers from the previous year missing 37 and 31 games and the third guy not even being there. Blame it all on Randolph that Portland sank to 27 wins the next year, even though they had eight guys that started 30 or more games and their leading minutes guys after Randolph were Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Damon Stoudamire, Nick Van Exel, Ruben Patterson, Theo Ratliff, and Darius Miles. Yeah, Randolph really disrupted THAT team and made them bad.

Who said everything should be blamed on Randolph? Who said he singlehandedly ruined a team? It wasnt me.
Randolph, though talented, is dumb and selfish. I can't quantify those qualities with stats. You just have to watch the games to understand. Portland got what for Randolph? New York got what for Randolph? Now the Clips are giving him away for nothing. Why? are all of these execs just dumb? Donnie Walsh suddenly dumb?
