Great trade for the Knicks. Francis and Frye are going to the blazers for Randolph, Dickau and I am not sure of the 3rd person...
 
fred jones (SG with decent offensive game) is the 3rd person. Best of all we're rid of Stevie Turnover and Softie Frye
 
I think this was a great trade for the BLAZERS. Kind of a win-win, but the Blazers are moving in a direction that means Randolph won't be needed as much, and Frye is a stud-in-the-making. Francis is Francis, and that young team could use the vet presence

Frye as a stud? Uh you havent seen him play have you? Hes a jump shooting 7 footer and hes not that good at it. Francis has been in 1 playoff series in his career so I question what kind of leadership he brings.

I understand the moving in a different direction but you dont give away a talented player for absolute crap.

I don't think they got "absolute crap" at all. Frye gives them depth and range at the size positions. Dude was great in college, clutch and made some huge plays. He had a real solid rookie season but wasn't so good last season. He's only 23 or 24 so he's got tons of potential.

Francis will bring leadership to that team. Did I say he'll bring Brett Favre leadership? No. I said he'll bring a veteran presence. He's been in this game, he knows the in's and out's. He knows how to deal with the media, the pressure, the hype, the fame, etc. That's what he can help the younger guys with. Why in the hell does he need rings on his fingers to do that?
 
I think the Knicks really won this trade and its not that close. How often do you say the Knicks got the better end of a trade?

Exactly, last time i said that was getting Crawful on his rookie contract for absolute crap. Looks pretty familir to this except Randolphs about 6 inches taller, 80lbs more expensive, and about 50m more expensive then Crawful was at the time.

Just because Frye was great in college (which by the way 16/8 is not great) He had an OK rookie year, nothing special and last year completely regressed to all the negative things they said about him when he left college thats hes soft, cannot defend, cannot play with his back to the basket, and is not a real good rebounder.

And wat Im saying is forget about leadership from a guy who hasnt exactly handled success (or in his case failure) as a pro. The only thing Francis does well is complain.
 
Clarification: Randolph deal not finalized

I have just been informed that the trade involving Zach Randolph going to the New York Knicks has NOT been finalized. As of right now, the deal is only a proposed trade.

Confirmation of the deal could be finalized in as soon as three hours, but it could also be nixed.

The proposed deal is the same as was reported earlier: Randolph, Freddie Jones and Dan Dickau to New York for point guard Steve Francis and forward Channing Frye.

If, or when, the deal is finalized, I will update.

I thought Steven A Smith was gonna have an orgasm over this deal. :lol:

The Knickerbockers still won't beat my Sixers. :)

Screaming A. Smith was in love with that deal. I thought that was Spike Lee for a moment there. However, Knicks >>>>>>> Sixers. :)
