The Grizzlies have 2 restricted free agents and 3 unrestricted free agents heading into this summer. The Grizzlies should match any offer made to Rudy Gay who is one of the restricted free agents this summer. He has really developed into a solid player in Memphis and it would be a shame to watch some other team steal him away. Ronnie Brewer is the other restricted free agent on the Grizzlies and they would like to bring him back too as they traded a first round pick for him near the trade deadline. Steven Hunter, Jamaal Tinsley and Marcus Williams are the unrestricted free agents for the Grizzlies and I don’t see any reason for them to bring any one of these three guys back.

The Grizzlies were very happy with 28-year old power forward Zach Randolph in his first year with the team. Randolph played in 81 games (all starts) for the Grizzlies last season and he averaged 37.7 minutes, 20.8 points, 11.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steal per game. Randolph teamed with Marc Gasol to give the Grizzlies a very solid and powerful tandem in the paint. Randolph has now played in 587 games (460 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 31.1 minutes, 17.3 points, 8.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game. Randolph came to the Grizzlies with the reputation of having a bad attitude but he appeared happy and motivated in Memphis almost helping them make the playoffs.
