Arron McKie has been pulled from the sidelines back to the court by way of a complex trade. The Los Angeles Lakers still held the rights to McKie, and he was needed, money wise, to complete the blockbuster trade for Pau Gasol. This is a good thing in some ways. Reports say that McKie will get about $750,000 a year, for three years. McKie is already getting $7,000,000 for this season from the 76ers, the last year of a 3-year gift from Billy King. McKie will act as a player/coach for the Grizzlies. Marc Ivaroni, the coach for Memphis, was a Larry Brown assistant.
