I don't get why people in general rag on harden's bad showing in the finals but don't ever mention how well he was doing in the other series before that. They wouldn't even of made it pass the Spurs without him.

He's too old anyway. There's no reason to settle for Zach Randolph even if he were available for trade.
Well, except the question was whether Memphis traded ZBo to Houston, not whether Memphis is INTERESTED in trading Zbo. So yes, it's False that ZBO has been traded. That doesn't mean he may NOT be traded.
Yep, a dead giveaway that your rumors are made up is if you've never been the first to report an actual trade. I don't think Kennedy ever has.
Some people just refuse to think. I completely agree with your previous post that includes Randolphs fg%, and his abilty to command attention from the weakside.
I think Randolph would be great for several reasons: 1. I think his asking price would be cheaper than his caliber 2. He'd be a great fit next to Asik 3. He'd bring some much-needed grittiness/swagger to our team 4. Lefty takeover?
Keep in mind that ZBo would still be a very nice trade asset if they wanted to get rid of him later. $16.5M expiring in next year, good size, and arguably a top 10 PF. Right now we're short on sizable contracts to work trades. And assuming we worked out a disproportionate salary dump trade, we could *still* afford a max contract player in free agency and keep ZBo if we wanted. We currently have only $39M in guaranteed contracts at the end of this year. If we trade off around $10-$11M in pieces for Zbo, that only takes us to $45M. With a trade cap of $58M, we can sign $13M more in the off season. That's assuming that we don't trade one of our $8M players in order to secure that free agent (Like Asik to get Dwight, or Lin to get CP3) which would make sense if we actually were securing a top 5 PG or Center. It's really not a bad option in terms of the player OR the contract timing OR his value as a trade asset.
