I think it may be over for Bowen.
He has been spotted at theatres eating buttered popcorn. Spurs looking at Sheed. Please no. I would rather win a championship without this dolt.

I don't think so. I like Griffin a lot but Randolph is a proven 20-10 guy in the league. Those guys aren't standing on every corner in LA. They don't exactly play the same spot either. Griffin is more of a post guy than Randolph is. I could see them both on the court at the same time and if they feel like they won't work together, you can get more for him than Richardson. 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.

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.

He cares a whole lot about his numbers. Its not just about offense. Not enough of his 10 rebounds come after a tough battle under the defensive boards.

Players are on an island unlike football. You cannot stick some 350 lb dude in the middle of the line for every 3rd and short and get away with it. Cant have some reliever pitch to 1 batter and win it. Its easy to see if you suck. You cant get lost, you have to contribute.

For once I agree with Pgardn and cannon shell. Getting rid of Zach Randolph's contract for ANYTHING was great. Getting rid of it for an expiring 9 million is a STEAL.
Zach randolph is an extremely talented player...perhaps the greatest ever to play at storied Marion high school. However, he is a confirmed idiot that needs the ball in the post and kills any kind of chemistry both on the floor and in the locker room. That 20-10 needs a serious asterisk.
