What to Do With Anthony Randolph?

The guy who should know, his coach, doesn’t seem to have a clue. (Here’s a crazy idea, Don: play the guy): “Randolph is listed at 6-foot-11 but says he’s closer to 7- foot. He once was considered the team’s long-term solution at power forward, and many believed that he could develop into a ’3′ with his assortment of skills. No one seems to know what to make of the second-year player anymore. ‘He’s probably taller than anybody I’ve got on the team right now, and he’s still growing, they tell me,’ Nelson said. ‘Maybe, eventually, center will be his position. I don’t know.’ One thing is certain: The future is not now. Starting center Andris Biedrins picked up his third foul in the opening six minutes against Memphis on Wednesday night, but Nelson didn’t turn to Randolph. Instead, the coach opted for 11th-year reserve Mikki Moore.”

    please play him! hes the key breakout player to my fantasy team and me winning 90 big ones. instead, i have been made to look like a fool picking him in the 6th round of a 16 owner league

    The starting 5 should be

    Biendris(whatever his name is)
    Ranpolph
    Morrow
    Ellis
    Curry

    And they should trade Jax to Cleveland

    sam…that’s an awfully small backcourt. Morrow can get buckets in limited minutes. No need to compromise the D.

    no Sam. Curry and Ellis together is a baaaaad idea. If Jax is traded, Azubuike should be starting. It’s sad to see that this team actually has the material to win some games, or at least play some competitive, exciting ball, but with Nelson it won’t happen anymore.

    Gerard, the problem with Curry & Ellis is not that they can’t play together. The problem is that Curry has already proved himself a better distributor than Monta. Inasmuch, Monta isn’t gonna dominate the ball as much as he wants.

    doyouwantmore, maybe not a top team, but nellie DID turn the warriors into a successful team, even for 1-2 seasons. at the same time however, he also helped drive the team into the hole it’s in. the gift and the curse. the warrior upper management really need to leave

    Nellie did not try to trade Ewing for scraps. He tried to trade him for Shaq. The knicks were 34-25 under Nellie and Ewing just revolted when he heard about the possible trade and with the other players pushed Nellie out.
