http://www.nba.com/knicks/news/drafttrade_070628.html During Thursday night's NBA Draft at the WaMu Theater at Madison Garden, the Knicks announced that they had acquired forward Zach Randolph, guards Fred Jones and Dan Dickau and second-round draft pick Demetris Nichols, the 53rd overall player selected on Thursday, from the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for Steve Francis, Channing Frye and a future second-round pick. Randolph, a five-year NBA veteran, averaged 23.6 points and 10.1 rebounds per game with Portland last season, boosting his scoring average by more than five points and his rebounding average by two boards over the previous season. At age 25, the 6-9, 258-pound Indiana native who played one season at Michigan State, is coming off a career year that included three 40-point g ames and 15 games with 30 or more points. Jones, 28, will be joining his fourth team in two seasons, following a Feb. 22, 2007, deal that saw him leave Toronto in exchange for Juan Dixon. Prior to signing with Toronto for the 2006-07 season, Jones had played for the Indiana Pacers. The 6-2, 220-pound shooting guard has completed five NBA seasons. He started 15 games and averaged 6.5 points per game in 2006-07, and he has a career 7.5 PPG for his career. Dickau, a 6-0, 181-pound point guard, gained fame as a college player at Gonzaga, where he led the Zags to two consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, including a Sweet 16 berth in 2002. Originally drafted by Sacramento with the 28th overall pick in 2002, the 28-year-old came home to his native Portland in a trade with Boston one year ago. Coming off the bench, Dickau averaged 3.3 points per game and 1.4 assists per game in 2006-07. Two years earlier, when he started 46 games in a season split between Dallas and New Orleans, Dickau averaged a career-high 12.5 points per game. Nichols, 22, played the past four seasons at Syracuse, where he averaged a Big East-leading 18.9 points per game as a senior. The 6-foot-8, 216-pound forward was born in Boston and attended St. Andrew's High School in Barrington, R.I., before entering Syracuse in 2003. Nichols finished his career at Syracuse tied for 28th on the school's all-time scoring list and third in three-pointers. He earned a spot on the All-Big East First team for 2006-07, a season which saw him set a Syracuse record for the most points (37) in a conference game. In that game against St. John's, Nichols hit seven three-pointers. He also had seven three-pointers in a Big East tournament gave vs. Connecticut at Madison Square Garden. --
