Warriors Willing To Trade Randolph

Via Mercury News

Team and league sources confirmed Tuesday that the Warriors have included second-year forward Anthony Randolph’s name in trade discussions.

Golden State once exalted Randolph as the face of the young, promising core around which the franchise was to be built. But in just under a season and two months, Randolph has gone from possible draft-day coup to the Warriors’ latest trade bait.

One team source said the Warriors aren’t necessarily looking to get rid of Randolph but are willing to trade him if doing so would improve the team.

Randolph was deemed the starting power forward in the offseason and was invited to participate in Team USA’s training camp in Las Vegas after a dominant summer league.

But one Eastern Conference executive said Randolph’s stock is down around the league.

Randolph is averaging 11.3 points per game as well as grabbing 6.5 boards.
