GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'
Just when you thought -- err, when Darko Milicic thought -- Zach Randolph would be freed from his pressure-bound, weighty shackles in New York City with a swift send-off to lovely Tennessee, well ... stop thinking that, I guess. Newsday's Alan Hahn reports that not only is the Memphis deal dead, but that there is absolutely nothing else cooking on Z-Bo. Camp starts in a week, and Randolph's getting those sneakers ready.The apparent sticking point in both this prospective swap and the odd rumored Clippers talk earlier this offseason is the lack of interest by Knicks boss Donnie Walsh to crank over a draft pick. Famously, Isiah Thomas used up most of the good ones while in power. NYK does hold its own 2009 pick, but the 2010 edition belongs to Utah, a hand-me-down from the Kurt Thomas-Quentin Richardson deal in 2005. That means the Knicks can't swap 2009 or 2011's pick. 2012 seems really far off to be giving up a pick just in order to lose some salary.
In addition to these logistical problems, Hahn reports Randolph is said to be in poor shape right now. I'd love to be shocked (and to be honest, Z-Bo was said to have good work ethic in practice in past years), but this sour situation -- the team clearly has little use for him -- will continue to drag everyone down until resolution. Eddy Curry, he'll work hard to try to start off right with the new regime. (It probably won't work, considering his massive and slow and Mike D'Antoni plays speedball.) Even Stephon Marbury will try. If Z-Bo is being so heavily discounted by the bosses, will he find any will within himself to perform? The Knicks, I'm sure, would prefer not to be in a position to find out. Alas ...
