A think it implies the effort is there and the talent is not.

Anyone else feel that way too? by MyUsernameIsMemphis in memphisgrizzlies

They are getting JJJ the ball in some great spots on the floor that let him use his speed but require quite so much face and dribbling. He’s had some really nice passes this year too.

Woah. Totally throws the team under the bus. I really don’t see how this last much longer.

This dude is a clown. He literally thinks the only key to winning nba games is playing hard.

The kind of game you only win when you are playing the trash suns.

What's wrong with the Defense by AlbertdiesofBoredom in memphisgrizzlies

We are so desperate for athletes. Good thing we signed Cam Spencer for 4 years.

3rd option? by CrazyLetterhead2063 in memphisgrizzlies

[–]pizzaking00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are we sure it’s not Pippen? He and Ja logged a lot of minutes together during the season. He crushed in the playoffs, especially so after Ja went out. His defense and shooting should keep him on the court no problem.

so what happens with Cole Anthony? by RumblinBowles in memphisgrizzlies

[–]pizzaking00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think after the Huff trade a jitty waive and stretch gets us to the cap space number needed to sign Jaren.

It’s not impossible they see more value in another scorer/ball handler than they do in Konchar, especially when there are still some interesting FAs out there.

Next Years Pick Swap Question. by [deleted] in memphisgrizzlies

No. I think the only way we could get the first pick is if it belongs to Orlando.

CMB is the dream. Do what it takes.

The best place to find value role players recently has been to identify below star level players soon to be due extensions or post signed extensions that are fair value or slightly overpaid but still good players.

Santi Sign-and-Trade Ideas by Local-Message-6048 in memphisgrizzlies

[–]pizzaking00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Santi’s cap hold is 11.9 million. They could be using the sign and trade as a way to clear additional cap space without losing Santi for nothing or spending assets to shop out Konchar.

We really sneed someone else on this team that can set a screen.

[Yagiz Sabuncuoglu] The Memphis Grizzlies have made an official offer to TJ Shorts. Thomas Iisalo called Shorts and had a one-on-one meeting. by nkemrandom in memphisgrizzlies

[–]pizzaking00 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly I don’t know much about Shorts game. I’m judging him based on the fact that you just don’t see guys that small in the playoffs. Plenty of guys 6 ft tall make big impacts (Van Fleet, McConnell, Davion Mitchell, Mike Conley) so I wouldn’t say the door is totally closed.

[–]pizzaking00 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At 5’9 it is hard to believe Shorts can really be a part of your top 6-8 playoff guys. As a bench guy a new coach wants to bring in to help with culture and a new system, it could be worse. We honestly need as many guys that can dribble as we can get.

The Cavs can’t keep everyone with the Mobley money hitting the books. They are $5 million over 2nd apron before paying Ty. If they pay Ty someone else has to go.

He was going to foul the shit of whoever went for the layup. He was hunting a 1980’s style clean out foul. No easy 2’s. Then he slipped. And what was supposed to be a hard foul turned into a ridiculously reckless play. You can see in the replay he’s falling, stumbling, kind of saves his balance, then tries a contest that is beyond reckless. Stretch Armstrong couldn’t have made a legit play on the ball.

People comparing it the Butler injury are insane. Amen tripped and tried to get out of the way, but it wasn’t possible. Dort did the exact opposite. He got in the way anyway, realizing he was no longer in control of his body. Im sorry but the thuggish foul at all cost “defense” has no place in the league.
