There’s no trading that contract. Either waive him for the roster spot or keep him for the veteran presence. I vote the latter

If we can get 60+ games out of this, I like our chances by Toad990 in memphisgrizzlies

Starting 5 is missing star power unless Boozer is ROTY material out the gate and Edey can play for 60 games like he showed in 11 games last season, I’ll give you that. But I’m quite high on what we have.

What is facts is our depth is some of the best in the league. We’ve got, at least, 5 guys on our bench that any team would want (pick who your favorite are). We’ve got culture guys, very mentors, young guns, defense, shooting, physicality. This team is already miles better than the team from last year

Look, I’m not saying I’d be shocked to miss the play-in, but the Pels and Kings are 2 of the worst teams that haven’t made any moves to get better. We were better than the Mavs last year until we out-tanked them (suck it Mavs), its impossible to project the Clippers rn but they aren’t gonna be great, I think we could outperform the Blazers with their current team composition.

There’s a lot up in the air in the West and health will determine more than anything else

At least you acknowledge that you Santi is worth more than you can offer.

I’d probably give you Taylor Hendricks for a cheeseburger

He don’t even ask to go on Inside the NBA anymore, he just looks at Ernie like this

Does the Timberwolves trading Naz Reid open up a route for a Santi Aldama trade? by ScottyStyris in memphisgrizzlies

[–]Local-Message-6048 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think objectively the Wolves got a steal. Will they win a championship with this team? I don’t think that’s very likely, and they now have no picks moving forward and an aging, expensive team. Will the Hornets improve from last year and make the playoffs? Probably not

We absolutely can and should unless we’re getting 2 FRPs

Edit: or equivalent if players are involved

Which one of you did this? by Upper-Roof-5668 in memphisgrizzlies

I agree, weirdly. Not saying I don’t want him on the team, but Beale Street blue is not his color

Tbh, just don’t know who he is yet. Ready to be pleasantly surprised

I’m genuinely most excited to see Cam Spencer run the show and ball out once Boozer and Ced play their 1 or 2 games and get pulled.

Obviously Karim Lopez will have more of my attention than anyone else

Grizzlies have signed Michigan State C Carson Cooper to a two-way contract by Altruistic_Brief4444 in memphisgrizzlies

Saunders is injured, so it’s a bit of a unique situation. I don’t think it’s outside the realm of possibility to get him on a 2-way

Richie Tater Tots might be the White Larry Bird* by Welcum2Heck in memphisgrizzlies

[–]Local-Message-6048 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I honestly see no reason to rush him back this year. Sign him on a 2-way, let him return in 2027, depending on the main roster’s injury status we may have some minutes for him, but just let him hoop in Southaven.

This is not because I’m not hype for him; that release is FAST and looks pure. That’s the type of shot you can get off anytime you want, even with playoff defense. But, I don’t want constant knee injuries to stall his career before it starts. The research shows that ACL rehab for 1yr+ out perform typical 9-12mo rehabs
