The DA dropped charges. Now Randolph faces a Civil Suit. Not only has he been accused of rape and sexual assault he has been implicated in frequenting prostitutes and using marijuana. He has hosted orgies where ecstacy was used. Is this the kind of person the Blazers want for their new wholesome image?

Trade him while he still has some value. (Albeit, less and less value with each passing day, it seems.)
I live in Zach's hometown of Marion, Indiana. This guy has been nothing but trouble his entire life. There have been numerous incidents in which he was in trouble with the law.
He was suspended from the high-school basketball team his junior year for possessing stolen firearms. He has been cited for illegal possession of alchohol. He was arrested for driving under the influence while cruising around town with two minor females in his SUV. He was present when his brother - another habitual lawbreaker - was involved in a shooting at a local nightclub. Zach provided a statement on the incident to the police. This statement proved to be false - and he recanted this statement only after being threatened with arrest. His brother was ultimately convicted and sent to prison. And there are several other incidents with the local law, as well. And these incidents don't include the legal troubles he's had in Portland (punching a teammate, illegal street racing (in which, two loaded firearms were found in his vehicle), driving under the influence, etc, etc.
Yet, when he returns to his hometown, he is treated by the locals as some sort of hero who can do nothing wrong, claiming he was just a victim of circumstance.
Our community - like alot of manufacturing based communities in the Midwest - have suffered numerous job losses and a shortage of revenue with which to improve facilities to enhance the lives and opportunities of our young people. Zach claims to be proud of his roots and the opportunities afforded him by the community in which he grew up. He makes millions of dollars, yet, he has given nothing back to this community that has given him chance after chance to redeem himself. Pathetic!
Trading him will definitely help the Blazers head in the right direction. I just hope the team that is foolish enough to acquire him knows what they're in for - because I can't see his behavior ever changing.

Randolph is a bum he's a bigger liability on defense then Shawn Bradley. Yees he can score and offensive rebound but the things that he's doing it's not worth it. plus he's bad influence on the teams future best players Aldridge and Roy.SO get rid of him for something decent but no one wants a trouble maker. Maybe he would be like Sheed. Go to championship caliber team then he will calm down.

Trade him to the Golden State Warriors. There are rumors the warriors are willing to part with Troy Murphy and Mikael Pietrus for the trouble-prone Randolph. Troy Murphy is a double double player every night, Pietrus has a wealth of potential (nickname: The French Michael Jordan) and both of them keep their respective noses clean, get along with teammates and get along with their coaches.

The NBA doesn't need players like Zack at all. If Mongo is correct in what he stated then it looks like Zack Randolph will self destruct sometime in the near future. Any team that takes a Chance on him may rue the day that they did.

the reason why the Portland Trailblazers commerce Zac Randolph is his attitude of undesirable influent on youthful gamers like the former path gangster of their hey day of Rasheed Wallace and co. so as that they commerce him to important apple so he don't have a danger to influent Greg Oden. And in the experience that they did not commerce him they could make the playoff ordinary, even with the indisputable fact that the potential of undesirable influent to a franchise participant like Oden is to a great deal, so as that they commerce him.
