very seldom do I post replies....but feel compelled to.
The Grizz trading for Zach Randolph after drafting Thabeet is a pathetic basketball decision. We have a very good young post in Gasol who is developing into a good offensive player and can guard large slow 5's. He has no ability to defend the 4. So what do we do? We draft with the # 2 pick.... an offensively challenged defensive post that also cannot defend the 4.
We then trade Darko to the Knicks for Q, who is in the midst of collapsing as a meaningful player, and flip him for a completely one dimensional low post scorer who could not guard Heiseley. Eagerly await watching Randolph guarding the 3 point shooting 4's that stretch the floor....as ZR waits for them at the basket.
So we have no one other than Arthur who can guard a 4, have committed HUGE dollars to a player NO ONE in the NBA wanted and now have an albatross on our salary cap for 2 more years
Whoever is making these decisions is a complete moron that should, if an employee, be FIRED and if it is the owner......sell the team because you are an embarassment to professional sports

How about the return of Mike Miller for a playoff drive. He instantly gices the 2nd unit a scoring option
