Not from NJ. But those players are quite valuable, and I think something could be arranged. If Lee and Zach are both leaving, though, you might consider a 3-way so that they could be split.
I have offered Collins+expirings for Randolph in the past, and I wouldn't add anything near face value for the Knicks if they were to include one of their youngsters. We simply don't need them.

Some people really have a way with words. Other people... not... have... way.

In an "or" situation I think that Robinson & Balkman would probably return a contract ending in '09 + a small sweetener (2nd round pick possibly). Lee would probably garner an expiring.
But who honestly believes that Randolph is worth more now than when he was traded for a $30mil buyout, a 2nd round pick, & Frye? If anything he's worth less. And I just don't see many teams clamoring at the idea of paying nearly $50mil (over the next 3 years) just to get their hands on players like Lee, Balkman, or Robinson.

Starting point for Randolph is what the Knicks got him for this summer.
Terrible contract + mediocre prospect.
The Knicks apparently offered Randolph + Balkman (mediocre prospect) to the Bucks for Simmons + Gadz (terrible contracts) + Villanueva (mediocre prospect). The Bucks declined.
Randolph has a HUGE negative value at this point. Adding Lee and Balkman might make something possible, but Zach is a killer.
