Due to the reasons mentioned above, the Blazers wanted to quickly send away the "number one criminal" of the Portland Prison while he still had value.
Originally, upon learning that the Blazers were shopping Randolph around, the Grizzlies also wanted to acquire the young forward, but unfortunately...
Jordan, who thought Randolph was child's play compared to Rodman, offered a higher bid in the end.
On TNT TV Station, Barkley analytically commented on this trade: "The reason Michael is interested in Zach Randolph, I guess, is because in the past two seasons, Zach is one of the few players who could hold his own against the Messiah."
"Master Qiao" Barkley guessed quite accurately.
Jordan didn't hesitate to send the highly promising talent, Jeff Green, to Portland...
Precisely because he valued Randolph's ability to make impressive shots against Qin Yue, even with all his excess weight.
ESPN gave Charlotte a C-plus rating for this trade.
