Zach Randolph: Waived by Dallas
Zach Randolph has been waived by the Mavericks, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.As expected, the 18-year veteran won't play a game for the Mavericks and will instead hit the free agent market. According to Mark Stein, there could be a "sizable" amount of teams looking to add Randolph. He's just one season removed from averaging 14.5 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.2 assists across 25.6 minutes.

Mavericks' Zach Randolph: Headed for buyout
The Dallas Mavericks are expected to waive Zach Randolph, whom they acquired Wednesday in a trade with the Kings, Mark Stein of The New York Times reports.Shortly after the Mavericks' 99-93 win over the Hornets, it was revealed that Barnes had been shipped away to the Kings in exchange for Randolph and second-year forward Justin Jackson. Dallas likely only agreed to take back Randolph and the remaining money on his two-year, $24 million expiring contract for salary-matching purposes, as the veteran doesn't otherwise have a future on a rebuilding team. The playoff-contending Kings didn't have a need for Randolph either -- the 37-year-old has yet to play a single minute this season -- but that probably has more to do with their glut of frontcourt options. According to Stein, Randolph is expected to have a "sizable buyout market" once he's free to sign with other teams at a more cost-effective deal. Though Randolph is just one season removed from averaging 14.5 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 25.6 minutes per game, he seems unlikely to receive close to that level of playing time no matter where he might wind up.

Mavericks' Zach Randolph: Dealt to Dallas
The Kings agreed Wednesday to trade Zach Randolph and Justin Jackson to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for Harrison Barnes, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.Randolph has been out of the rotation all season in Sacramento, not even logging a single minute of run. On a Dallas squad that doesn't fancy itself as playoff contenders, it's tough to see a path to playing time for the 37-year-old. The Mavericks most likely agreed to take Randolph back in the deal for salary-matching purposes, as Jackson, a 2017 first-round pick, looks to be the main target here. Don't be surprised if the Mavericks look to reroute Randolph elsewhere prior to Thursday's trade deadline or buy out the money left on his two-year, $24 million contract shortly thereafter.

Kings' Zach Randolph: Could be on move
The Sacramento Kings have engaged with the Knicks on trade talks surrounding Zach Randolph and New York center Enes Kanter, league sources tell Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.Wojnarowski notes that no trade is imminent, but both sides are eager to shed the expiring contracts attached to the big men. While Kanter has been a key scorer and rebounder for New York's second unit this season, Randolph has been a healthy inactive throughout the 2018-19 campaign. As a 37-year-old on a team ripe with plenty of younger frontcourt prospects, Randolph doesn't project to have a role with Sacramento at any point moving forward and likely wouldn't see meaningful run with the Knicks or any other team either.

Kings' Zach Randolph: Out of rotation
Zach Randolph is not expected to see playing time in the foreseeable future, James Ham of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.After averaging 14.5 points and 6.7 rebounds for the Sacramento Kings last year, Randolph has taken a back seat as the Kings attempt to develop a slew of young bigs. Randolph is a steady contributor of points and rebounds when given the opportunity but would need significant injuries to occur in order to become a reasonable fantasy asset this season.

Kings' Zach Randolph: Likely to see reduced minutes
At Sacramento Kings media day, coach Dave Joerger implied that both Zach Randolph and Kosta Koufos could see reduced roles this season, Jason Jones of The Athletic reports. "I'm not saying those guys won't play, but our bigger priority is to play as many young guys as possible," Joerger said.While Joerger's words may not be in the best interest of Randolph, himself, it's nonetheless refreshing to hear that the Kings will lean into their youth-heavy roster, which features second-year players Justin Jackson, Harry Giles, De'Aaron Fox and Bogdan Bogdanovic, as well as No. 2 overall pick Marvin Bagley, among others. Last season, Sacramento's rotation was muddied with a mixture of young players and veterans, and it was often difficult to discern which players Joerger would favor on a night to night basis. The rotation could still take some time to settle, but at the very least it appears as though Joerger is ready to embrace a rebuild, rather than a misguided attempt to compete for the eighth seed, even in a year in which the Kings don't control their own first-round pick. In 2017-18, Randolph's first in Sacramento, the veteran appeared in 59 games and averaged 14.5 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game.

Kings' Zach Randolph: Could see role reduced
Zach Randolph could see his workload reduced as a result of the Sacramento Kings selecting Marvin Bagley with the number two overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft.Randolph signed a two-year, $24 million contract with the Kings last summer and played a significant role on the team in 2017-18. He appeared in 59 games, averaging 14.5 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 25.6 minutes. However, with Sacramento bringing in power forward/center Bagley, Randolph's role could fall by the wayside as the team looks to continue the rebuild.

Kings' Zach Randolph: No signs of slowing down
Zach Randolph averaged 14.5 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.2 assists across 59 games played with Sacramento in 2017-18.Despite playing in the lowest amount of games since the 2011-12 season, the 35-year-old showed no signs of slowing down as he increased his scoring, assists and blocks per game from last year. In addition, Randolph also improved his field-goal and free-throw percentages to 47.3 and 78.5 percent respectively. However, the former Michigan State star will look for a new home next year when free agency opens this summer.
