In their second move of the day, the Knicks sent the Clippers forward Zach Randolph and guard Mardy Collins today in exchange for forward Tim Thomas and guard Cuttino Mobley. The move should serve well for the Clippers by making them more competitive and filling a hole in the paint left vacant by the departure of Elton Brand from LA. How it will serve the Knicks will remain to be seen.
Tim Thomas, another local guy who will start his second stint with the Knicks, should provide quality minutes. Though he was included in the deal, it's still unclear if Cuttino Mobley will be healthy enough to pass a physical.
The saddest part of this move was that Randolph was rarely part of the problem during his days with the Knicks. He tried hard and his numbers reflected his effort. Sooner or later they are going to have to abandon the blind hope that Lebron "The Next Michael Jordan" James will pick New York in the 2010.
