Randolph seems like the kind of player that could be effective into his late 30s.  If Love goes elsewhere, what about trading for Zach and extending him,

Green, Bass, Anthony, Bogans, Sullinger and swap 17 for 22 for Zach and Prince?

Green helps them upgrade at the 3 and he is younger.  They save a Ton of cash.

We still do the Asik deal and go after Afflalo.  Trade back to 9 and draft McDermott.  Keep Bradley.

Afflalo Bradley
McDermott
Zach. Olynyk

Zach isn't going to win anything in the West.  In the East, we could build a top 4 team along with always injured Chicago, old Miami, and neurotic Indy.

There's a better, younger, cheaper version of Zach Randolph in this year's draft who is likely to be on the board with our sixth pick.

"Better" is a high hurdle.

Are energy guys really the type of guys that are effective in their late 30s?  Randolph makes most of his living by being a beast on the offensive glass, which is extremely rare among old NBA bigs.  Generally when you're an old, slow big and you're not the first guy running back on defense, then your team is playing 4 on 5.

It's likely he'll still be able to get off that turnaround jumper in his late 30s, but retaining a great touch while you age is hardly a given (look at Rasheed).

TP for perspective.

That's a fair criticism.  I should have added the word "potentially."

I'd be surprised to see Randolph leave Memphis. Him and Gasol are a really great duo down low.

He's a 32-year-old on a team that seems to have plateaued and doesn't seem likely to be strongly contending for a title.  There will be those who say that Ed Davis can provide almost the same level of production for cheaper and the team would be better off if you could trade Randolph for an upgrade at the wings and more youth.

A top 4 team is fun to watch. But we are the Celtics and championships is what we count.

Grizzlies definitely reached  their ceiling with their current roster. They run with mediocre SF's  and need a elite scoring option at the 2 or 3 . Don feel pau signing to them would put them so much over the top.
