The rumor du jour has the Knicks shopping Zach Randolph to the Milwaukee Bucks. Here is the Oregonian blog, by columnist John Canzano, that stirred this one up:
Canzano was the leading critic of Randolph and his "Hoops Family" when Z-Bo played in Portland. I spoke with a source today who is in tune with both the Bucks and the Knicks. "Makes sense," he said. But there's nothing imminent in terms of exactly what the Knicks would be getting back in such a deal.
The source indicated that Z-Bo getting traded makes sense for all the reasons Alan Hahn and I have been pointing out. "You watch them play and they just don't fit together," the source said, referring to Z-Bo and former franchise center Eddy Curry.
Not sure what Isiah has in mind here. He has long coveted Ruben Patterson, but he's on the street after getting released by the Bucks. Mo Williams piqued his interest last summer, but he opted to re-sign with Milwaukee instead of trying to force a sign-and-trade to the Knicks or Heat. Plus, Williams is a score-first point guard, and as the Rockets' Rafer Alston pointed out in my column today, the Knicks already have too many of those.
Keep an eye on this situation, though. The Knicks obviously have good reason to be shopping Z-Bo ...
