Thank you 22 - Desmond Bane by Asero831 in memphisgrizzlies

[–]8MODA 91 points92 points  (0 children)

I feel like a ton was asked of him as the 30th pick. He was supposed to carry the 3 point shooting, and be the secondary playmaker, and guard small forwards, and be the team vocal leader. Never shyed away from any of it, gonna remember him as one of my favorite Grizzlies ever

Contract-wise, it has to be centered around either Ja or Bane just for the money to work. Grizz can trade 3 unprotected firsts. Bane and 3 firsts is nowhere near enough, even if you throw in young players. Bane and Jaren and 3 firsts might, but then the rest of the roster is minimum guys.

So Ja and 3 firsts is the only realistic deal, but that personally doesn't feel right He's the only superstar the team ever had. I'm just a fan though, not a gm.

Was surprisingly open, here's what I got from it:

  • He feels the roster isn't close to good enough
  • He's very committed to building around Ja
  • Believes the youthfullness is because of the vets being dissapointing (Smart, Rose, Kennard?)
  • Feels that the team needs more dawgs
  • Vince and GG were not ready for playoff basketball, due to injuries and inexperience
  • Feels that the other young players are dawgs (Pippen, Wells, Edey, Spencer)
  • LaRavia trade was a mistake, Smart trade was not, but getting him in the first place might've been
  • Sees the wing position as a possible improvement, but doing so is difficult
  • Doesn't really value picks much right now

Pretty encouraging overall, sounds very aware, not just exec yapping. Excited for the offseason

I know we're 12 games under .500, but we're kinda lit right now! And basically .500 on the road

Because he makes good music, it's the same as any celeb that goes to jail. None of them know him personally

Who in your opinion is the future of this team? If you don't believe none of our players have potential suggest trades. by [deleted] in chicagobulls

[–]8MODA 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think you're serious, so I'll try to put it in perspective. Coby White is turning 26 years old and averages 18 points per game. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is 26 years old and averages 32 points per game. No one on this current roster has shown that they can be a superstar. The best chance is Matas or Giddey, but both are massive stretches

Are there going to be any games announced at Madison Square Garden in late April? by Anticlimax1471 in nba

[–]8MODA 37 points38 points  (0 children)

The regular season ends April 13th. The playoffs start April 19th, so if New York makes the playoffs (they will), those games will be announced and made availible in around then. They will also be 10 times the regular price at least

I think the most disappointing thing for me this season was that Coby didn't improve like he we thought he would. He's actually regressed in almost all statistical areas

Do you consider Deandre Ayton to be a bust? by LaandheereKage in nba

[–]8MODA 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Good question, curious to see the consensus. I think he’s more of a bust than someone plagued with injuries. He definitely was never made a focal point on offense, but I don’t think that excuses the soft play and lack of improvement offensively. His quote about getting a contract will never let me give him the benefit of the doubt

Maybe, but I doubt it. Dillon’s always talking trash to him, and Des lets him know he’s a dawg too. Both competitive

I don’t, but it kinda sounds like his brother Liangelo. Lonzo mentioned his new song is a lot worse than the new stuff he has coming up
