What I don't get is that in the Randolph trade why couldn't Walsh ask the Clippers to swap 1st round picks.
At the time the Clippers were terrible like 1-10, the knicks weren't much better though and without Randolph it could be assumed the knicks would be worse.
Was it really that difficult to swap 1st round picks? Would the clippers really not trade Thomas for Randolph to possibly move down in the draft? Mobley was only in it to match salaries..I'm convinced both teams knew he wouldn't play in NY.
