Rod Thorn reiterated that the Nets have had ?no conversations? with the Blazers regarding power forward Zach Randolph, who has a low post offense the Nets could sorely use (but he plays little defense).

Another league source said a deal for Randolph that could involve Richard Jefferson is not completely far-fetched, although he terms it as having a ?long, long shot? of getting done. ?I would say the Nets? interest is at a small percentage at best,? the source said.
