The only team I knew of was the Knicks and I believe that would have been Randolph.......basically what I heard was that no matter what Larry does he gets shot down quickly, in most cases thats a clear message, with the exception of dealing with the fine Senator from the state of Wisconsin. Gad is right that at least Larry keeps trying to do something, but how insulting to him to have to run your ideas past some shister lawyer. I think maybe someone ought to post Ron Walters E-mail so fans can start e-mailing him with questions about the organization, since he appears to be running it.

Well in the case of Randolph, give props where props are due - Herb and his cronies deserve props for not making what would have been a disastrous mistake. If Harris did agree to that trade as has been reported in this forum, then he deserves to be criticized in my opinion.

Boozer would have been a disastrous mistake as well.

I guess I don't see how. He was the best player on one of the best NBA teams last year. You can pencil him in for 18/10+ every night on great %'s, he can knock down the midrange jumper, and he plays hard.
He has had some injury issues, but not lately.

I think you and sarcasm need a nice, face-to-face introduction.

Should have put that in green.
At the point that Harris was trying to trade for Boozer, he was a team cancer, who had screwed a blind man and was faking injuries so he didn't have to play. Sloan hated him and wanted him off the team. that is who we were going to be able to score him for Mo and Magloire.
The truth is, you need to take a risk sometimes. Especially if you're trying to build around a player like Redd. At the time, Boozer looked like an equal cancer to how Randolph may "appear to some" right now, however, he turned it around and has used his great talents.
Who is to say that Randolph couldn't do the same? On the court at least, he'd become our best player. That in and of itself is sad.

What facts? That you don't like Zach Randolph for this team? Does that make it fact?
No, the fact that I have praised Harris for making the Boozer offer and criticized Kohl for shooting it down. That's the fact I'm referring to and it's one you continue to ignore when you repeatedly cite the Boozer example.

You've missed a large number of things.
Feel free to re-check my sig. With each passing day, it becomes more and more applicable. Unfortunately.
As I've had to do many times I'll remind you that I have always praised the good moves Harris has made or has tried to make. I simply refuse to turn a blind eye to the bad ones he's made or tried to make (if the info we've been given about the Randolph trade is correct). That's a fact and it's one I've had to repeat to you dozens and dozens of times.
