Prospect
Mike Bibby+Kenny Thomas for Zach Randolph+Dan Dickau.

Why Portland does it
Blazers move Randolph to leave paint for Oden. Bibby adds a reliable jump shooter, clutch player, and compliments Oden well for the inside out game. If it doesn't work out, his salary comes off the books in a season. If it does work out, resign Bibby to smaller contract. Thomas is a decent one on one defender that has no post game leaving the paint open for Oden to work his offense. Thomas still adds rebounding help, a midrange shot, and can run. His contract comes off the books about the time to resign Oden and Aldridge steps right in.

Why Kings do it
Kings finally obtain big 20/10 inside player and SG to back up Martin. With Randolph, Kings trade away Artest for either PG or SF. Draft Hibbert (Conley if Hibbert is taken). Kings lineup:

Salmons/Price
Martin/Dickau
Garcia/?
Randolph/Reef
Hibbert/Miller

What do yall think?
 
I think its not out of the realm of possibility.

Zach is a shaky character though.

And have to say no thanks for the proposed final lineups.
 
I know Zach Randolph put up big numbers this year, but given his injury history (i.e. microfracture surgery), defensive liabilities and characater issues, I'm just not that interested in his deal. I know 20/10 is great and everything, but Randolph is just an injury or a misstep away from being a humungous cap killer for many years.
