I like the trade because it was basically Darko for Randolph. We lose nothing and gain a post scorer and a good rebounder. We may also gain a nutcase, but we'll see in due time. And like I said, the guy isn't a constant crackhead on the court. He has his problems, evident by all the video clips, but these are highlights. It's like watching a Trevor Ariza highlight where he dunks all over someone (happens a couple of times a year) and thinking that happens every game and the other team has a constant fear of Trevor Ariza gliding out of no where and dunking all over them.
Stats tell lies, I'm a firm believer in that, but saying Z-Bo sucks ass and is a terrible player on the court is a retarded statement. He does stupid shit, like dribbling up the court while doing stupid crossovers and chucking an air ball three, but those stupid things happen maybe once every 5-10 games. Is that a good thing? Hell no. But does that make him a terrible player? No.
He's a 6'9" big who will scrap on the offensive glass, he can do work in the post on offense, he's got a nice mid-range game and a decent three pointer, and he can give you a solid 35 minutes of basketball every night. I don't exactly see how that translates to Zach Randolph sucks ass.
