The wing is more lower percentage, if you could choose where to force a team to shoot it would be outside. By not playing good D at the 4 you are basically begging teams to work you in the paint which is high percentage city.

He's the big guy, the guy that's supposed to be the last wall (the PF and the C) between the scorer and the basket. That's the problem with Randolph. A PF (and C) are supposed to cover the paint. If you don't cover the paint, you will have the least chances of winning. Covering the paint is perhaps the most important part of winning a basketball game, defense wise. That's why Randolph's D is so important that without it, no team wants him. Well, except for the Clips. He's a good guy, but he needs to step up on D.

The kid is young, Camby is old and not a long term peice, yes I would give Blake more minutes to accelerate his development. There is only 1 Shaq and 1 Yao in the league and the rest are a bunch of creampuffs in comparison.

He got decked by another player like 2 weeks after the Zach incident. It could be that Amundson just talks too much smack on the floor and brought it on himself. Yes, its a lack of professionalism to snap like that, but apparently the guys kind of a douche. I really kinda let the Amundson thing go.

Seriously, if we're out of playoff contention at the ASB and deal Camby, why shouldn't we give Jordan the bulk of the minutes for the remainder?

Sometimes 35 pts and 12 rbs. Yes he might be soft on defense but thats where team defense helps. What Zach should work on is shot selection , especially 3's . I have liked Kaman since he came into the league. I have the rookie challenge on dvd where he played against the sophomores. CK has always seemed like a serviceable center, just not a 10M per year center. When looking at the salaries of other nba centers, Kaman is not the worst talent. With the arrival and anticipation of Blake Griffin's game , Camby could bring in a 3 or 1 that would improve the team. Let Dunleavy enjoy his two purchases ZR & CK till his contract expires. If LA comes out ready and determined right from the start ; meaning BD is back to form, CK is focused,the younger guys get better and The coach has an epiphany, I feel strongly that staying .500 is within reach.

I was looking at this article on randolph, "http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/02/sports/basketball/02randolph.html" ,and the way i interpret some of the mistakes he's made is that he has some alcoholic problems, in portland he punched a criminal and tried to protect a family member from the police, which i know many people would do, and with the clippers he "slapped" some overly-aggresive suns player after he just found out his dad was terminially ill. I think he needs to go to some anger management classes and some AA meetings, but i don't think he's the kind of "criminal" most people think he is. If we can't find a good trade for him this offseason, we don't have to be despserate to get rid of him.
