While Randolph said the two have since reconciled, he's ready to move forward. "That was definitely BS," Randolph said of the stories while at All-Star weekend. "We'd been together four or five years, and it was upsetting that we lost him. "But we were trying to get to a championship level (before), and we still can. We've got good players – Tayshaun and Ed. But they're different players. People are thinking we're not the same and that we probably can't do it, but I think we still can. We've still got a good team. We hate that the trade happened, but this is what it is and this is what we've got to go with." USA Today Sports

Randolph said the trade rumors didn't affect him; he understands it's business. But he also made it a point to describe just how much he identifies with blue-collar Memphis and that he'd prefer to stay, long-term. "I love the city of Memphis, the people, the community, giving back, interacting with the kids, and the charity," Randolph said. "I'd like to retire a Grizzly, but, you know, that's my home. I just bought a house there. My daughters go to school (there). I'm always going to be in Memphis if they trade me or if they don't. That's my home." Memphis Commercial Appeal

Randolph was asked if he agreed with team chairman Robert Pera, who this week said his new-look Grizzlies are better equipped for playoff success after a trade that sent Rudy Gay to Toronto. "I definitely do," Randolph said during a media session in a ballroom at the posh Hilton Americas hotel here. "I think once we get our identity together and continue to play, get some more games under our belt as a unit and come together, I think we can surprise a lot of people." Memphis Commercial Appeal

That then raises the question for Randolph: Do you want to stay with the team? "I definitely do. I love the city of Memphis and the people in it," he said. "I love interacting with the kids and the charity. That's my home. I just bought a house there and my daughters go to school. I'm always going to be in Memphis, if they trade me or if they don't. That's my home." USA Today Sports

Hollins is in the final year of his contract and is openly acting like someone who will be elsewhere next year. It’s having a major impact on how the Grizzlies are playing. Sources close to the situation caution not to read too much into the frustrations of a two-game losing streak, but when you factor in how leaky the Memphis process has been the whole way around, completely dismissing Randolph as a coveted trade asset would be naive. However, the Grizzlies continue to deny that Randolph is anyone they are willing to move, but it’s clear they are still active in the marketplace and the right incoming offer can always change a team’s thinking, especially if the skid continues.

No one but Randolph can correct his inexplicable misses around the basket, but the Griz have talked about improving their early offense and overall spacing to alleviate pressure in the post. "He's got to work harder to get up and down the court so we can get some easy buckets for him, and we haven't done that," Hollins said. "And we've got to do a better job of getting the ball to him in the post where he can operate and then getting out of his way." Memphis Commercial Appeal

Zach Randolph pontificated for several minutes about the Grizzlies' offense, how he needs to play and the nuances of opposing defenses geared toward weakening his presence in the paint. Then, the Griz power forward fielded a simple question. "How are you feeling?" a reporter asked, wondering if the lower back pain that caused Randolph to miss a game about two weeks ago might still linger. "I ain't the one to complain," Randolph said. "If it was (hurting) I couldn't tell you." Memphis Commercial Appeal
