NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
Zach Randolph is sent to the Clippers
The Knicks have shown the door to half the team or so it seems. Time to clean out the deadwood and find some winners.
The summer of 2010 is still almost two years away, but on Friday the New York Knicks officially made themselves players in what is expected to be the richest free agent crop in recent history. In two bold strokes, Knicks president Donnie Walsh has shed a pair contracts that have hung around his neck like an albatross since he assumed control of basketball operations last April: Jamal Crawford, the offensively-effective-yet-defensively-putrid guard who was shipped to Golden State for forward Al Harrington, was owed more than $20 million on a contract that ran through the 2010-2011 season; and Zach Randolph, a stat stuffing machine who, along with reserve guard Mardy Collins, was sent to the Los Angeles Clippers for forward Tim Thomas and guard Cuttino Mobley, is scheduled to pocket $38 million through ‘10-’11.
So are the Knicks setting up to get LeBron James or Chris Bosh as some are saying?
Maybe they are just cleaning out the losers and trying to get players that fit in D’Antoni’s fast paced system?
