Good cancer? :o

He's an offensive machine that can gobble up a lot of rebounds. He's matured a bit and hasn't run into a whole lot of issues lately. The Amundson situation was just bad timing since his father was in bad shape and in the hospital at the time.

The DUI situation was resolved. And when he actually played for us we did pretty well record wise. The only problem is his "ugly" contract. Only 2 years remaining though so it's not so bad.

Randolph was a strong productive member of the team I still to the day will give Z-Bo the benefit of the doubt because he only truly started to slump until his father died. For me that warrants a second chance.

I like ZBo and hope he stays with the Clips. Dunleavy was sounding like he'd be willing to try Griffin at the 3 somewhat, so perhaps that opens ups minutes for ZBo

Yeah, but he also wanted to try out a Kaman/Camby/Z-Bo rotation too.. I don't think what he wants to try is in the best interest of the team. Hell.. What he knows and does isn't the best interest for the team. :lol:

That big man rotation even before Griffin might have been a good rotation. It never had a chance because Kaman got injured almost immediately

It just kinda spiraled downwards from that point on. Before that, he really impressed me. He was a really efficient scorer (hitting the same shots over and over again), pretty good rebounder, and average defender. It was too bad, after the injury he never really recovered back the point where he was averaging almost 20 points a game. But then again, the whole team at that point packed it in. I'd like for him to stay, but I'm not sure how the Griffin situation is going to work out.

Zbo better not get mad if he has to come off the bench.

As a Knicks fan, I loved ZBO, and still do. It was just his contract. If he didn't have such a heavy contract, he would still be in NY. Goodluck Clippers.

Yea he is a very good player. But hes paid too much and wants to shoot to much. Albeit he is very effective but it def wouldnt hurt him to pass a little more. I think hes a good complimet to griffin

His Defense is what kills me
If you can drop 20 and not give up 20 your very good
And his D is very suspect

He's an automatic 20/10. There's not many guys like that in the league. Put him on a team with an enforcer in the middle and he'll be even more valuable. People say he's a black hole, but when he played he kept us in games.

That said, I still want him gone because of Griffin, and trust me, there are suitors for him. We just have to find the right deal.

He's a better offensive player than Elton Brand. He's good in the post, has pretty good range (not three point range), and is a decent rebounder. However, he's a horrible defender. He'd be a good second option on a team like Cleveland, who desperately needs a post presence.

I must say ZACH RANDOLPH is a lucky charm! Blazers and Clippers got the 1st pick with him on board. The Knicks would have Griffin now if they stayed with Zach, LOL.

But seriously. Right now, he is a cancer. In Portland at least he played a different position from Oden but now, every minute he gets will be a minute Griffin wont get.

Randolph has to go somehow. Maybe to Utah for Kirilenko? (if they lose Boozer)

If you check AK´s and Zach´s contract you will see they are pretty much the same.

If Boozer is gone for sure, maybe. But I don't see Utah wanting him.

Overall, he's a good player. He can create his own shot, solid free throw shooter, can get 10 boards a game, and can occasionally hit the 3 ball. His cons are he has a larg contract, a poor defender, and has a low basketball IQ.
