Some players no matter how much they put the ball in the hole or rebound are just losers and bad basketball players. Marbury, Steve Francis, Z-Bo, Telfair, and Tim Thomas are all bad basketball players that can't contribute UNLESS you involve them in the offense and they will quit on your team otherwise. This sort of selfish one dimensional player that spent his whole entire life training and practicing to be a "superstar" are like injured race horses that need to be put to sleep after it is discovered that they can NEVER be focal points on any team with CHIP aspirations. But nonetheless NBA GM's continue to bet on these types of players "potential" and fans keep thinking that once their favorite team gets him that he will finally change his ways or somehow the coaching staff will be able to extract some good quality basketball out of him where everyone else that had him FAILED.
Zach Randolph's poor passing, no hustle, no block shots, poor defense, and poor attitude trump his ability to put the ball in the hole and position rebound. A low post scorer that can't pass is absolutely worthless UNLESS you bring him off of the bench but Zach will be making $17 million dollars in the near future and he has already shown that he will quit if placed into a reserve role.
Zach is like a very ugly woman that has the attitude of a gorgeous diva. If you are going to deal with an ugly woman you want one that is humble and works hard to look better not one that is high maintenance like these Paris Hilton types. Zach would need to approach the game more like Reggie Evans/Milsap/Corliss Williamson and less like someone whose huge paycheck dictates that he doesn't have to be an all around team player on defense, passing the ball, and getting floor burns.
