http://www.kotv.com/pages/viewpage.asp?id=52063 JERRY GETS JAKE: Memphis Grizzlies president Jerry West finally landed a center after a summer of looking, getting Jake Tsakalidis and forward Bo Outlaw from the Phoenix Suns for backup guard Brevin Knight and little-used players Cezary Trebanski and Robert Archibald. ``It's obviously pretty hard to get a center, it really is,'' West said in a telephone interview. ``We feel we did the best we could, getting someone young with size who has some potential.'' ``Strength is a huge factor here. We're an athletic team, but we don't have a lot of bulk with those people. He's played pretty well against Shaq in the past, and he's also played well against Yao Ming. From our perspective it bodes well for us.'' If the trade seems a bit lopsided in Memphis' favor _ Tsakalidis started at center for Phoenix last season _ it was because of the Suns' luxury tax concerns. Phoenix will save about $2 million in luxury tax costs in the upcoming season and is no longer liable for Outlaw's $6.5 million in 2004-05. The trade will open up minutes for the Suns' big men _ Scott Williams, Jake Voskuhl, Tom Gugliotta and rookie Zarko Cabarkapa.
