Getting a 23-10 power forward (points and rebounds, respectively) surely isn't a bad idea.

He's a scoring machine who scored 40 or more points thrice last season. Added 30 or more in 15 games and accumulated 36 double-doubles to boot. He was named Most Improved Player in the 2003-2004 season; maybe he could win it again this year.

Alright, he missed 10 games last season but it doesn't mean he's injury prone. He's only 25 years old for crying out loud. He still has the potential to improve his gave much better.

I don't think there's a risk in getting Randolph. With Curry at the helm in center, they will form one of the fearsome-duo in the front court. Randolph is a team player also; he was present when the Blazers are in the playoffs and during their recent bad breaks. Did we hear him complain?

He still has talent to show in the basketball world. His size gives him a nice boost in the low post. Even though he's that big his mobility is exceptional. He has the will to go for the ball as shown with his good rebounding skills. His tremendous footwork allows him to do his great spin moves with ease.

Randolph's a big guy but he has a nice shooting touch. Doesn't have much athleticism but his fundamentals is there.

The only thing we should be concerned is his defense and conditioning.

Praises will be made to Isaiah after this deal. I know he's been criticized for most of the deals he had made but this one he'll be admired.
