The Memphis Grizzlies only have one year left with him if he agrees to his 16.5 million player option. If he declined I think he would be a great fit for the Pelicans.

The teams with the top cap room next season
1. Pelicans (47 million)
2. Celtics (46 million)
3. Wizards (45 million)
4. Bobcats (44 million)
5. Pistons (41 million)

Randolph might not decline it because he can't get a $16.5 million contract anywhere else. However he is unhappy over being trade bait this season. A sign and trade may be possible if we send Gordon because they need a shooter who can get to the basket like Gordon can't and it's actually a cheaper contract than Randolph's current one.

We should definitely sign him if we get the chance. I don't think Anderson would mind being a sixth man in this senecio.

No he isn't.

quote:

As for his own future, Randolph has never been a free agent in his career and plans to talk with his agent in a couple days. He also wants to talk to the Grizzlies.

"This is where I want to be at," Randolph said. "This is home for me. My kids go to school here. I bought a house, so Memphis is home. I'm not 21. I'm 32. I'm still in my prime the way I play."


There are a few other quotes I saw this week that I can't find now, but from what he's saying, if Memphis is willing to pay him, Memphis is where he wants to be.

That's a completely cockamamie figure. Until we move Gordon we don't have much room to operate. If you cut everyone but the Finishing 5 and Rivers you have $55.6 million in salary and roster holds.

No thanks, I'd rather build around the guys we have now(except for Gordon) and add solid role players at the 3 and 5.

We should definitely get Randolph, and one more PF in FA. That way, we can start an all-PF line up with Davis, Anderson, Randolph, Smith, and the other FA.

Zack Randolph




Unless someone throws a ton of money at Zbo he will be back in Memphis next year.

It will likely be a 3 year deal for less money. He has said repeatedly that he wants to retire here.

Marc Gasol said he will step in if he needs to when they are trying to work with Zbo on a contract
