A deal for someone like Hughes+Gooden's probably the best you're gona get.

...And Zach Randolph would easily be the most talented player involved in the deal and easily more of a game changer than Jason Richardson or Gerald Wallace due to his post scoring skills and rebounding ability. I think people forget that earlier in the season, Randolph was averaging more than 11rpg easy and still was limited offensively. A key reason why it's just not working in New York is because of Eddy Curry whose game does not compliment Randolph's as our offensive and defensive schemes are currently constructed. In Charlotte there would not be such a problem because of the excellent defensive skills of Emeka Okafor; the ying to Randolph's yang.
Needless to say that you need playing time to make "a big impact." As Knick fans, we have all seen the all-around hustle oriented game that Balkman brings to the table. Unfortunately, his main problem at the moment is his inconsistent jump shot and a host of equally talented players. On the Bobcats, however, he would be one of the best backups on the team and help replace some of the game that Wallace provides. We all know what Nazr brings which is an excellent production but certainly not starter material on a playoff team. To me, the decision is an easy one to make for the Bobcats.
