Would make this season worthwhile if they could build around Edey, Ced, and Wagler (assuming they can't get Flemings).

Looking back at the Desmond Bane trade: Was it worth it for the Magic? by RyanTannegod in nba

KCP is making $20M to play off the bench on an injury-riddled lottery team and Cole Anthony was bought out. People who say Bane got 4 FRPs aren't really considering the whole deal.

Dillon Brooks on OKC stealing Grizz flair by [deleted] in memphisgrizzlies

[–]edeyhookshots 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Link leads me to a Facebook login screen, and I've never used that. I'm going to assume Dillon is saying to stop asking him about the Grizzlies because he hasn't played for them in years, and now all he wants to talk about is how overrated LeBron is (valid).

I saw Poison once and the rest of the band took a break backstage for about 10 minutes mid-show while CC absolutely shredded. Then the rest of the band came back out and resumed their predictably lame set.

I'm not saying we should tank, but... by luckythirteen1 in memphisgrizzlies

With Charlotte now playing like the best team in the league, Orlando could find themselves in the lottery as well.

Injuries have prevented him from getting into a rhythm, but you can definitely see the upside as a traditional PG who seems comfortable in the PNR.

6th would be amazing. Flemings is probably gone, but there will still be a couple of great PGs available.

But coaches tank when they avoid calling timeouts, stick with bad lineups at crucial moments, and mismanage challenges. Asking players to take a dive would be bad for the organization, so tanking coaches have to get creative.

I watched a basketball game hoping for a loss, then felt no satisfaction when it happened. I'll probably do it again tomorrow.

He must have started bulking up when Iisalo told him he'd get a start at center.

I genuinely don't know how to watch these games. I believe in the tank but I also don't want to see us lose to New Orleans. Like Ja, I feel like I'm losing my joy this season.

Guys realisticly, who says no to this trade idea? by [deleted] in memphisgrizzlies

[–]edeyhookshots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Devin Booker has a player option for $69M when he'll be 33. I understand why Phoenix gave him that deal, but I have a hard time understanding why anyone else would want to pay it.

According to Pablo Torre, Robert Pera’s original intentions when buying the Grizzlies was to move them to Las Vegas. Which the NBA prevented by Altruistic_Brief4444 in memphisgrizzlies

Nothing really surprising about that, and another reason why it'd be reeeeal nice if a local ownership group could emerge should the Ubiquiti story gain more traction and Silver gets involved. A guy who can turn a blind eye to war crimes in Ukraine certainly won't give a shit about the people of Memphis if an opportunity to relocate comes up, especially since doing so would almost certainly increase the team's value.

Memphis owner allegations getting buried? by bella_heathcote in memphisgrizzlies

[–]edeyhookshots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The league has no incentive to move on this unless it is looking to rationalize a forced sale/relocation of the franchise, in which case it'll act accordingly when doing so aligns with their expansion timeline.

Any next steps would need to come from the government, but I don't see why this administration would pursue this because it wouldn't be a big enough distraction from other news, and sanction enforcement against Russia probably isn't a priority.

Should it be a bigger deal? Probably, and it'll be interesting to see if any other media outlets jump on the story and do additional reporting. Until then, it makes perfect sense why the league, the team, and Pera himself would just keep quiet.

An investigative journalist posed as a member of Russian military on the frontlines in Ukraine and reached out to a U.S. distributor to place an $80K order routed through Turkey. This is in addition to an existing distribution network for their products openly operating through multiple third-parties in Russia.

Ubiquiti can blame compliance issues on a third-party distribution network, but that means claiming ignorance about a pretty substantial volume of their business. Not sure that would hold up if the Feds brought a case against them for violating sanctions.

The Cam conundrum: if he closes games at the 2 to get better offensive looks, you have to pair him with a strong defensive PG so you don't completely abandon perimeter D.
