ORLANDO -- Memphis power forward Zach Randolph leaned in close after he heard the question, making sure his answer came with a point of emphasis. Like from three inches away.This contract extension is something he feels strongly about.
"I want to do it now,'' he told FanHouse Friday before his Grizzlies lost to the Magic, 89-72, in Orlando. "Sooner the better. If we don't do it now, there are a lot of other teams out there who like me.''
Randolph, now in his 10th NBA season, is in the final year of a contract paying him $17.3 million, lobbying for an extension before he becomes an unrestricted free agent this summer.
Randolph, 29, is coming off his first All-Star appearance, a reward for the consistency and improvement he has shown through the last several years. He is working on his fifth consecutive season of averaging a double-double (points and rebounds), trailing only Tim Duncan and Dwight Howard.
