first Harden and now possibly Zbo...I'm loving this new luxury tax.
Hollinger doesn't think Z-bo and Gay have a high enough PER, off with you!

Because they're deep in luxury tax . Only big market teams can afford that. It sucks cause there's no parity but the Grizz @ $74 mil are desperate to shed salary while having a top 4 team in the west, while Lakers who have $100 mil payroll and are out of the playoffs don't care about it.
( cue Rascal explaining how great the Lakers FO is ).
IMHO, ZBo is the kinda player, if kept motivated, that can still be dominant even after his athleticism is gone. I think his contract isn't that outrageous, atleast as a bigman who's clearly not a stiff and relative compared to his peers & Gay's contract. If it's true, basically the ownership is giving the city big middle finger by being el cheapo & gutting a contending team (though only with outside chance, yet still a chance nonetheless).
smokescreen to try and force the Gay trade IMO
The Grizzlies would never trade Randolph to a division rival, much less a prime compe or in the championship race this season.
hollinger trying to pull off the NBA version of moneyball by using advanced metrics like PER to evaluate his roster
Grizz owner may as well sell the team if this is the he's gonna pull.
Maybe Jacksons expiring could be used if the cheapskates wanna save cash? Pipe dream. I'm sure the Grizz will get loads of good offers for Randolph though. He could turn a borderline team into a contender.
How has Randolph been playing this season? Has he gotten back into form? I know he didn't have a great year last season, but that was mostly due to the injury that he had at the start of last season.
He is having an allstar yr with 17 &12 at 50% and out just 1 game this yr.
no way the Grizz front office trades him to the Lakers. How dumb are some people on here? A contender would never make a team like the Lakers any stronger than they need to be...
Oh, wait.
This. Always liked Zbo. Straight beast
Straight to the top of the list. Memphis will suck. Good for those idiots
I don’t know how many times I have said it, but this new CAP rules (tax) is going to destroy teams. Assuming this is the reason they want to trade him. Not sure about that, 16.5 for 3 years...not bad.
I would definitively trade Tiago for this guy.
Overrated.
What he does, he does well. But he's not someone you can plug into any team and see them become a better championship contender.
He's a great fit for Memphis, they're a great fit for him.
ZBo to the lakers for a bag of doritos and some gatorade incoming
Don't forget to add the addition of Baynes!
Z-Bo's a beast when he's traded to another team and suddenly gets motivated again.
