ZACH RANDOLPH RETIRED ???
Can't believe Zachary hung 'em up at the tender age of 33 ... I nearly traded for this guy to lead my offense once Dirk and Shawn can't go anymore.
And I get another season from 37yr old Marion and Nowitzki, which is just perfect. Next year, with the hard cap finally coming down to teen figures, they will leave for good, and provide some big cap space to me (yes, i know that there's one more big salary here, but that will most likely leave as well).
Couldn't ask for a better season start ...
1. I think the only possible explanation is that somehow Derek horribly mispelled some other retiring players name.....
2. Grizzlies - thats not very sportsman-like
3. On the contrary for me, Celts. That's a pretty disappointing start to my offseason - once I saw that Zach's D improved at the 3, I actually had plans that very much so included him. In fact, he had a big role in what I hoped would be a one-year rebuild - and crimps my plans abit for moving around some picks too as I'll need the depth.
4. When I was feeling lucky and happy to get the third pick in the draft, I had this sneaking suspicion that I'd get FBB'ed somehow - guess this is it.
5. Yes, this free agent class is pretty lousy. The guy who intrigued me most, who I planned on offering every penny to, has already resigned with his previous team - for a paltry amount no less. Argh.
6. I don't think I've ever seen a relatively young guy (33) retire after a 20-10 season....I hope my moving him over to the three didn't push him over the edge.
Ah well, on to the draft.
