A hot NBA rumor out there (started by Sam Smith here) is that the Wizards and Trail Blazers were talking about trading Zach Randolph for Antwan Jamison. The WaPo Wizards beat man Ivan Carter says it ain’t happening in today’s chat:
McLean, Va.: Any truth to these Randolph for Jamison rumors? And can the personalities of Arenas, Stevenson, and Randolph work on this team? I see them getting bored on a long road trip and setting Etan’s dreads on fire.
Ivan Carter: Before we get to Kobe: I’ve asked around about the so-called Randolph rumor and from what I can gather, there is nothing to it. It came from Sam Smith of the Chi Tribune, who essentially writes a trade rumor column. The Portland people I spoke with yesterday said the Wiz and Blazers have not discussed a Randolph deal and that vibes with what I know about the Wiz. Abe Pollin isn’t going to trade his favorite player since Wes Unseld (Jamison) for a guy who has been arrested repeatedly, plays no defense and has a monster contract. Not going to happen. That said, you’d better believe that Portland is looking to move him. They’d love to.
