--LA Sends Cuttino Mobley and Tim Thomas To NY For Zach Randolph and Mardy Collins--
Mike Dunleavy has coveted Zach Randolph for quite some time, and now it seems as though he is getting him. I heard a little earlier today that the Clippers were making this trade. I assume as I write this post, the legalities of the deal are being finalized right now.
The question now becomes is Dunleavy done dealing or is this move just the beginning? I vote for the latter.
Here's the NY Daily News article on the trade.
Knicks trade Jamal Crawford for Al Harrington, ship Zach Randolph and Mardy Collins to Clippers

The Knicks completed a wild day of trading on Friday when they sent Zach Randolph and Mardy Collins to the Clippers for Tim Thomas and Cuttino Mobley. The deal comes less than two hours after Donnie Walsh traded Jamal Crawford to the Warriors for Al Harrington.
Both deals were made to clear salary cap space for the summer of 2010 for when LeBron James becomes a free agent. The contracts of Harrington, Thomas and Mobley all expire in two years which will put the Knicks in position to make a run at James, the most coveted free agent since Shaquille O'Neal left the Orlando Magic to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers.
