#15. Andre Miller signs with the Portland Trailblazers (3-yrs, $21m)
I don't know how he fits with Brandon Roy and I don't really care. I just think that whenever you can get a solid distributor to run a young team like this as they learn how to not only win but also win in the post-season, you have to make that signing. Miller will make everybody's job that much easier by being unselfish and teaching these guys how to pick apart opposing defensive schemes. It was Portland's first choice but I think they'll be happier with Miller than they would have been with overpaying Hedo Turkoglu.

#22. Los Angeles Clippers traded Zach Randolph to the Memphis Grizzlies for Quentin Richardson
The most important of the Quentin Richardson trades, it leads to the eventual corruption of two nice, young talents in O.J. Mayo and Rudy Gay. I applaud the Grizzlies on swinging for the fences here with bringing in the always troubled, 20-10 Zach Randolph. It's a bold move. But I give it 8 months until Gay and Mayo are busted with Randolph for some type of marijuana possession. And it won't be because Mayo and Gay are bad guys. It'll strictly be the peer pressure of someone as terrifying as Randolph. He's like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man with a decent step-back jumper.

Funny

Some of these "explanations" don't make much sense.
