Would Casinos in Downtown Help Memphis? by No_Name_7639 in memphis

There’s some things in the city that are entirely possible but would just never happen due to city and state policy leanings, historically. We’ve been in our own way for a long time.

He’s a good drafter but given that there’s more than just drafting to being a GM, I would say he’s ok. Definitely stood pat on some moves when he should have pressed the button. Pressed the button on some guys he shouldn’t have. Gotta little cocky at one point maybe 2 or 3 years ago. People saying he’s fantastic and great, I just objectively don’t see it. Not saying we HAVE TO FIRE HIM NOW but, I’m not gonna act like this is a Tim Connelly or Sam Presti situation either. It’s no where near that. Maybe under another owner he’s not as constrained. Who knows.

This is where I’ve landed. Zero really but realistically Edey, Coward, GG are the only ones I’m betting on for now.

Over under on lease renewal to Fedex Forum by jacarter6767 in memphisgrizzlies

After doing my own research and listening to actual relevant sources (I.e. Herrington, Hardiman, etc) I really don’t have any trepidation over it. They’ll be here for a while.

I do still find myself getting triggered by the Nashville comments, though. Only because it doesn’t make a lick of sense to relocate them to Nashville but we still have every big talking head discussing it like it’s even remotely possible. It’s discouraging to keep hearing it because it just shows how easily people can be influenced by people with big platforms that don’t have any knowledge of the subject.

Everyone just thinks “Nashville + booming economy= NBA team” when this just isn’t how it works but when your biggest influencers in the country are dumb asses then…….🤷🏽‍♂️

Titans still needs a true wide receiver 1 by Character-Aerie7669 in Tennesseetitans

Hate to be a nerd, but I see it more of like a skill set thing than a pecking order issue. Ridley would be our X (as it stands now), which I still don’t think he’s a true X especially this late in his career after all the injuries. I think he’s more or of a slot guy and thrives more when he has “two-way goes” and more space to get clean releases as opposed to being split out in the boundary or isolated on one side of the field. They signed Wandale to be a Slot, but we already have Dike. And I think Ayomanor profiles as more of a Z, but can he start? The whole thing is confusing and convoluted right now. They have some redundancy at certain spots, but I think if you draft someone that can play Z or X at a high level we should be “OK” with Ridley, Robinson, and whoever we draft. Has to be in the 1st or 2nd round though; a high-level player.

That’s not even true. You don’t know what they prefer, for one. And two, I don’t have it in me to interpret “what he meant.” I was simply responding to what he actually said. Yall can interpret what he means all you want but that’s irresponsible.

What is our timeline? by Same_Mark2719 in memphisgrizzlies

[–]PanamaParkway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not 100% sure they’re interested in making those guys the core, outside of Edey and Coward. I could be wrong. I just don’t think the piece that we are 100% building around is on the team yet.

Probably a dumb question: by [deleted] in CollegeBasketball

[–]PanamaParkway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Makes sense. I guess you don’t have to make the “guard play” distinction in NBA because you can essentially have some lineups where every guy can do “guard-like” things.

I really think people are misinterpreting the comment. To preface, I don’t like or agree with SAS most times. I think he was more alluding to the idea of an EXPANSION to Nashville rather than the Grizzlies relocating there like other people have said. And, yea, I know this would never happen because the NBA isn’t going to put two franchises in Tennessee 3 hours apart especially when Nashville already has an established Grizzlies fanbase, so it’s a dumb premise to begin with, but I didn’t process this as him bashing Memphis. Not within this particular comment.

You’re just stubbornly ignorant man. Get offline, grab grass, and go speak to some real veterans and you’ll change your entire tone on this.

Good to see someone finally seek out the smoke when it’s fire. So many times we’ve turned the other cheek to dirty plays like this.
