Randolph is an expiring contract and it was only last season where his agent was telling the media his price for a new contract would be in the $8M+ range.

I think he'd be the one that gets flipped later in the season.

This has been disproved numerous times in this thread already, there is a team option for NEXT season and then he is a restricted free agent.

No offense, but the "opportunity cost" of replacing Scola in the starting lineup with Anthony Randolph would be just too great.

Randolph's raw athletic ability >>> Scola's

BUT

Scola >>> Randolph

Not trying to get into a tit-for-tat battle here, but my initial repsonse to your post was saying I wouldn't let Randolph's deficiency as a 3-point shooter keep him from having a chance as being a starter, since your statement "he's not a great fit in the starting line-up(no range from 3)" implies he couldn't be an effective starter with the Rockets because he doesn't have 3-point range.

"Scola>>>Randolph" is a straw man, and is not what I was responding to.

Y! Sports reporting the same. Deal is at a crossroads and Knicks have talked to Rockets about pick(s).

As Carmelo Anthony(notes) implored Denver management to keep exploring deals that would land him with the New York Knicks, the blockbuster trade that would’ve sent the All-Star forward to the New Jersey Nets has reached a perilous crossroads, league sources told Yahoo! Sports on Saturday night.

Anthony’s willingness to accept a contract extension with the Nets has begun to deteriorate over the weekend, and sources said at least some part of his uneasiness has come from conversations with former Nets players around the league. Despite the Nets’ new ownership and a new arena, Anthony has been regaled with tales of empty seats, fan apathy and second-class citizenship in the shadows of the Knicks and Madison Square Garden. Already, he had been uneager about joining a team that wasn’t close to contention.

“He’s having second thoughts on Jersey,” one league source said. “He’s pushed [Denver] to explore other options.”

The Nuggets believe the deal with New Jersey gives them maximum value for Anthony, but they still engaged the Knicks on Saturday in discussions that included Danilo Gallinari(notes), Anthony Randolph(notes) and Toney Douglas(notes), sources said. The Knicks were working to pry draft picks to use in a deal for Anthony, and sources said they had talks with the Houston Rockets, who obtained New York’s 2012 first-rounder to clear cap space in a February deadline deal.
