This is off hoops hype

While
              the Griz were courting Smith they also had trade discussions regarding
              New York Knicks power forward Zach Randolph. Those discussions —
              mostly internal – are still ongoing as Randolph has been made
              available. The Griz are willing to part with Darko
              Milicic (last year’s big free agent signing) in a package
              that wouldn’t require a core player (OJ Mayo, Rudy Gay, Mike
              Conley, etc). What the brain trust seems to be debating is whether
              Randolph fits the Grizzlies’ style on and off the court. Memphis

Well from the all reports Iv'e seen, we were talking to New York about a big (probably Lee), but them trying to dump Randolph on us was the deal breaker. Well if griz want Randolph, maybe we can facilitate this trade and get Lee out of it.?

We could send West to the Knicks, but I don't know what the griz would be interested in from our side.

I'd give them West and a first round pick. That's more than fair for us.  They badly lack point guard play, too. I mean, Duhon is set to be their starter.

I might not be wild about West, but Duhon is horrible.

I'd do that in a heartbeat.

Why the heck does the griz want Randolph around their young players!?!

West could be a decent fit at pg... Duhon is no where near a starting quality pg. Delonte isn't an ideal starting point either, but he could give them toughness, depth, and a bit of defense at the position.

Duhon is about as good as Snow was when he played for us. Maybe a little better offensively(just a little), and a bit worse defensively.

West is a better, and more explosive point guard. There's no way though, we do a clean West for Lee swap. Lee is easily a better player, they'd want our first at least. I would give it to them with no problems.

I would say Duhon is quite a bit better offensively than Snow.  Duhon can actually hit threes, whereas defenders could let Snow stand behind the arc and rot.
