9:46pm: Also interested in Randolph are the Cavaliers, Aldridge tweets. They’ll speak over the phone on Saturday.
8:14pm: Veteran big man Zach Randolph will meet with a host of teams in Los Angeles tonight, David Aldridge of TNT tweets. The Kings, Thunder and Clippers are all said to have an interest in the forward.
After a 2016/17 campaign in which he starred off the bench, Randolph’s role with Memphis appears to be dwindling. At the beginning of last season, his eighth with the Grizzlies, the club opted to start JaMychal Green ahead of him.
Still, despite the move to the bench, the soon-to-be 36-year-old remained productive, posting Per 36 numbers of 20.7 points and 12.1 rebounds.
The veteran forward will have a number of options available, depending on how he plans to play out the twilight of his career. While the Grizzlies would almost certainly welcome him back in a small role at a reasonable price, he could also be coveted as a mentor for teams with young big men or as a valuable reserve piece for a contender.
Randolph could go to OKC and the Thunder would have a Westbrook-Roberson(RFA)-George-Randolph-Adams starting 5.
Miami Please
Nothing would make me happier if we got this guy in Miami., along with Gordon Hayward and we bring back Waiters. If not Waiters, James Johnson who seems like he really wants to come back to us. I think that’d make us a legit 3/4 seed in the East, the way it’s shaping up following the PG trade
Timberwolves could use him to bolster the bench
