Any word on this rumor on your end?

Chicago is contemplating numerous trades - Amare Stoudemire, Jermaine O'Neal, Zach Randolph, Chris Kamen - in an effort to acquire an inside threat offensively and defensively, and, at the same time, deport Larry Hughes.

Not true Miami got JO for the Matrix.
Were not gonna move ZBO but maybe Kaman.

Yeah, i also can't see us moving Zach(even though i wouldn't mind it), cause he's been playing pretty solid for us, while Kaman is still out.

It seems pointless to trade ZBo, he still probably doesn't have great trade value due to his contract.

And if we wanted to dump his salary, then why did we pick it up in the first place by trading Cat and TT?

I'd be shocked if Dunleavy wanted to ship out Randolph unless he's getting an amazing deal. Kaman to Chicago might make sense but I hope it's not for any package centered around Larry Hughes.

I would really have to think about Kaman for Hinrich, but that's about all I would want from the Bulls.

We're also not playing that well on the glass and teams with centers are killing us. Randolph is covering the other teams centers because he has the wide body, but his height is killing him. Camby on the other hand it to thing to body up. Kaman on the other hand height and the body to handle opposing centers.

Considering they spelled Kamans name wrong, I'd say its nothing but speculation

I think he would get good value on Zach. Portland sent him out because of Aldridge/Oden and reputation in the city.

NYK because Walsh "bugged out"...and bought into that reputation. Seriously when he was first traded, I told many on this board that you'd love him and there were many doubters. Less than 30 games played and you guys don't want him traded, right?

I was just asking about the rumor because I still think Cleveland and Chicago would benefit the most from him. Chicago would never have traded with us (NYK) for various reasons and Paxson supposedly didn't want Zach 'cause of reputation. With the rumor of his pending resignation, perhaps the owner found a way to get rid of Noc/Gooden or Noc/Hughes and might include conditional pick or Tyrus... we really don't know.

Cleveland wants Amare and if that doesn't happen, I think they realize they're vulnerable to may teams because of no true low post game.

Only reason I would want you guys to ship out ZBo is to fix your salary structure (the frontline), and that can't happen unless you ship out either Baron or Kaman -- neither of whom has real value.
We shall see.
