Half those rebounds come on his own misses 
and half the rest he gets a tip-in which amounts to a rebound and 2 points. Not saying they are not a big part of the game They are. Zach showed he has a bit of growing up to do yet as well...don't remember Stat going to the end of the bench to sulk at any point this season either.
I think I might rather have ZBo- he is not a player that gets by with his athleticism. He will probably be able to perform at age 40!
Amare carried us in the first half of the season, but clearly used up all his gas in the process. He seemed a shell of himself down the stretch.
Papabear Says
All I know is that we traded Zach and Crawford for a bag of shells. Also dreaming of Lebron coming to New York.
He is a better Power Forward but he isn't a better player, if that makes sense at all.

Yes, thats what I said. I said he is a better overall player. I didn't know the Knicks were signing a dude born to lead. Amare plays with heart and leads by example, Zach could never do that. Also, the only reason this is even a discussion is because Zach is a very good rebounder. But Amare is a better defender. Its possible I am biased cause Amare is a Knick so I need to find a bunch of neutral NBA fans for this one.
Amare is the slightly better player, and the much better locker room presence/ positive team presence/ team leader. So Amare is worth every bit of money that he costs more than Zach Randolph.

ummm dude you know the grizzlies beat the spurs and are tied at 2 with the thunder right? Z-Bo has played with heart and lead by example the entire playoffs.
z-bo just signed 4 yr extension for 66 mil.
stat is on the books for 4 more years for 80 mil.
it is what it is. for the year, STAT's PER was 22.78, randolph 22.67.
STAT blocks shots, Z-Bo rebounds everything.
its a wash! lets move on. we have STAT & MELO! they are better than z-bo and crawford.

Strangely, Zach made more than Amare this year. Salaries are prob same'ish going forward.

a wash? Not in my books. 1 of those guys has nearly 60 playoff games under belt and a couple of WCF series, the other has about 14 games and only won 1 playoff series.

right, my point was that it is false to say "zbo has never played with heart or led." he is still currently playing in the playoffs because he's done both of those things. how many times has the grizzlies coach said "we are where we are because of z-bo." literally every grizz game i've watched i've heard that line. he is the undisputed leader of that squad and it is false to say he has never played "with heart or led by example."
as pertains to right now and moving forward, which is what i thought the question of the thread was, its hard to dispute that its a wash. they had virtually identical PERs. STAT was at 25/8/2, z-bo was at 20/12. they get paid around the same money and are both 29 yrs old.

Would you trade one up for the other disregarding contracts?
Find me a person who three years ago who could have foretold this and give him a job.
Naturally its about "winning, Duh".
You bonk girl A for about 2 years. She's okay, but nothing sensational. She ain't making you stop shedding man relish (Copyright 2011 to some UK poster) over the Alba thread.
You dump girl A for girl A1. A1 does it all, including lots of things girl A never even thought about doing. You are happy and fat, and suddenly, you don't even have the urge to slap the monkey cause she's got you satisfied.
Suddenly you see girl A in some bar somewhere, and she's sucking face with Landry Fields while dry humping on his lap.
Does girl A's current situation suddenly make her better to you than girl A1?
Are your balls drained any less?
Will you have a problem with impotence when returning home to girl A1?
We had Zbo. We had any number of players who we dumped who then went on to play in the playoffs, some of them even played well elsewhere. Stop sniffing over the fence, or STFU and move to Memphis.
By the way, bring sandbags.

Good take. I need a shower. I feel dirty.
BTW, has the Alba thread been so dormant before?
Both were here. Amare is a lot better. A lot better.

I can't even find the f--ing Alba thread! I thought it was supposed to be stickied (heh heh) at the top of the forums once the season is over? Not having Alba at the top of the site right now is possibly the largest oversight in the solar system.
