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.

Randolph is a pitiful defender.
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.
