Randolph's game is still raw but trust me...he's got a lot of talent...that can be molded very well...reminds me a little of a younger Kg.

  • Rondo doesn't believe in easy buckets...
I really wish we could steal this kid away from the Warriors before they come to their senses and fire Nellie. Nellie was a great coach at one point, but somewhere along the line he went Sinel  :o He's just impossible to please at this point.

Some of you guys have to be kidding me...Randolph is Chris Bosh with more athleticism.  Hes one of the best prospects in all of basketball.

you wouldnt trade big baby for him?  Whaaaaat?

There is no one on the celtics roster aside from Rondo that the Warriors would even entertain the possibility of trading him for.  it just doesnt make sense for either roster.

If he is really that good, why isn't he getting significant playing time in GState. They may be a wacky organization, but they play their good players.

and 85 pounds less of muscle. Kid's a twig. He's not playing for a terrible team that thrives on athleticism and transition basketball....

and his thing is: "athletic".


Not really Chris Bosh status. Not really.
Grab a few boards, keep the TO's under 14, close out on shooters and we'll win.

Anthony Randolph is the most overrated player in basketball. Dude is Chris Bosh without the jumper or post moves. in other words Stromile Swift

If he has Bosh with more athleticism, he wouldn't be a prospect. He would be an allstar.

That was hilarious.

TP, whether or not it is accurate.

Well argued.

Would love to see Randolph here, but he doesn't really fit into our team makeup right now. We are a halfcourt team. Bring it up, set the play, execute. Unless Rondo gets a steal, then we get out and run. It's why our losses were to uptempo teams mostly, like Indiana. Randolph is well-suited to the uptempo, get out and run style of Golden State. Minny is trying to play that style of ball now, I could see them potentially making a trade to partner him with Big Al. Could you imagine two young promising bigs like that running the court for you?

He has a decent jumper, and he's young.

Anyone with maturity issues should step into KG's office, and they will come out a different person.  Pierce, Allen and Sheed are all pretty good at mentoring too, I imagine, but KG is the personality game changer :o

I think Randolph is going to be a good one.  One question- when in the world is GS going to pick a player or two to build around?  I mean, Ellis is on the block too.  They always look to trade their best players.  There is no rhyme or reason on how GS does things.

And Doc imo has a way of weeding out the ones who will eventually grow up and get it from the ones who seem to have little chance of soon acquiring an inkling....To sum up, Celts have a bounty of tough love to offer from various sources, but love it is me thinks....

I wouldn't trade Baby for him now. I agree that in 3 years he might fit in nicely with Rondo and Perk. But for now, we're gonna need Baby's ability to finish with either hand in the paint to mesh with Sheed, or Baby's 15 footer when Sheed is in the post. I don't think its worth losing that versatility now for something that may only pan out 4 years from now.

there is zero chance the warriors would trade him for big baby davis or any of our other bench players. anyone who thinks otherwise is drinking the kool-aid -- plain and simple.

It sounds as though they think, as do I, that he's never gonna amount to much. if you can get Baby, a proven performer, and expirings for him, why not?

Because even if they think that he's never going to amount to much, they'll try to sell him to someone who believes otherwise.

They're submarining the chances of that by coming out and saying he has maturity issues.

I'm sure we'll all aware of the spiraling disfunctionality of the Warriors. They have a lot of players with maturity issues, NO veteran leadership, Randolph and his agent make a stink about playing time, and with the exception of Curry, Nelson hates young guys.

I'm not saying he's a great fit for the Cs -- and we do NOT have the pieces to get him -- but is there any doubt if he went to San Antonio or LA or Boston or even the Knicks (i.e. well run, well coached teams) that he's probably stand a pretty good chance of turning that potential into some results?

Calling a kid of his talent at his age 'bad' because of short terms results in the first quarter of his second year on the worst run team in sports with a coach noted for mind games is.... not so bright.

They'll test the market and see if they can get anything for him. If the offers suck they'll keep him. Oklahoma City would be an interesting one, though they're going to run out of room for young player who will require bigger contracts.
