Not as awesome as Zach and Thabeet getting down the floor on a Memphis fast break.

Zach for Q? Amazing! Now can we trade Curry for Q and complete the cycle?

I take it this is sarcasm. I actually like Zach as a player.

I'm going in early:

What does that say about Zach Randolph?? he's got issues. No one wants him..

Now watch Memphis trade him sometime during the season. He'll be a bad influence to Mayo and Thabeet.

Feel bad for Q. he's going all over the us..

Who comes off the bench? Zbo, Thabeet or Gasol?

Thabeet. I can't see them starting him and Marc Gasol together.

Though I wonder what happens to Hakim Warrick.

Of major proportion.

I thought Randolph was a bit maligned, and gave a good account of himself last year, but he and Thabeet, assuming that they get significant minutes, are going to slow things down both up and down the court and laterally.

Memphis had to trade Gasol for financial reasons but can take on Zach's contract? That is another question that I don't think Stern would answer without finding away to fine whoever asked it.

Now that they have Zach along with Warwick, Gasol and Thabeet, they won't be interested in Lee.

Can anyone post a link??

Also, there has to be other players involved to match salaries. Maybe Memphis got rid of Marko also?? Just guessing.

I like Memphis roster....still why did they waste the pick on Thabeet??? If that's their guy.....then I want Marc Gasol.

All in all, this is a big who cares for me. Zach is what he is, which is a cancer that can score.

More importantly, I thought you had to wait 90 days once you trade for a player? Aka, Memphis should have had to wait to trade Q?

Thabeet is a nice complement to Zach tho, u have to admit... he won't demand the ball downlow, so Zach will get all the touches he wants down there, & Zach can shoot the ball from the perimeter so Thabeet can position for rebounds underneath & won't clog up the lane so much... personally if i were MEM i would have targetted Rasheed Wallace instead at a lower contract, but whatever... this effectively takes MEM out of the running for Lee so there's 1 less chip his agent can use to try & milk an overpaid contract out of Donnie Walsh.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

I think that's if you intend to trade him with other players as well. He can be dealt by himself.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.
