Last night the Knicks managed to trade the King of Bad Contracts Mr. Steve Franics (formerly "Franchise") and soft forward Channing Frye to Portland for Zach Randolph and Fred Jones.
If Isiah can get Randolph to control his problems off the court and on, he could make the team a legitimate 5-seed in the weak East. In the East Randolph is good for 25 and 10 every night. His strong rebounding ability means the fact that Eddy Curry can't rebound isn't such a big deal. Fred Jones is really just a throw him, with very unimpressive statistics while playing roughly 21 minutes a night.
As a Knicks fan, I'm thrilled with this trade despite the obvious risks associated with Randolph. I'm figuring that the Knicks were already screwed, and Randolph's behavior problems couldn't be much worse than what they've experienced during the Layden-Thomas regime. If they could somehow add a good perimeter defender, they could be a top-tier team in the East.
Anyway....fire Isiah!
