[Nerd-Vol]

If healthy I like that!

 

[YankeeVol]

I'm a Chalmers fan. He's from AK

 

[ArliTnVol]

And it's official. Rio is back.

WTG FO !!!
If healthy, he will certainly be a difference maker.

Grizz signed Dillon Brooks to a 3 year.

Grizz signed Dillon Brooks to a 3 year.

Gonna be real cool with 18 players

ESPN's projected win total

12. Memphis Grizzlies
Projected wins: 34.6

I'll forgive Grizzlies fans if they're dubious of RPM's pessimism. Memphis outperformed a 39-win projection last season to win 43 games and claim the seventh seed in the West. This year, with the competition more difficult, even beating this RPM projection might not be enough for a Grizzlies playoff run.

Offseason Grade

Memphis Grizzlies
: C

Limited in spending by the looming specter of the luxury tax, the Grizzlies had tough choices to make this summer. They decided to let go of Grit 'N Grind stalwarts Zach Randolph and Tony Allen, the latter of whom remains unsigned.

Memphis made a decent-sized bet that Ben McLemore will be more effective outside, paying him $10.7 million over two seasons despite no track record of good NBA performance. The Grizzlies got good value with Tyreke Evans on a one-year deal for $3.3 million and should be able to re-sign starting power forward JaMychal Green at a reasonable price now that his options as a restricted free agent are limited.

Sounds like McLemore needs to get his arse in the gym. I have lost touch a little in the off-season. You guys think we will do well this year? I hate that we lost Tony and Zach. Those guys LOVE Memphis.

And to the Kings...

 

[YankeeVol]

Sweet.

Ben McLemore sidelined 12 weeks after foot surgery

Z-Bo in some trouble

 

[MphsBlues]

I've heard they kind of frown on folks carrying around 2 pounds of weed in CA. Did he NEED the money?

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Doubt he did. It tells me that his "handling" in Memphis must have been exemplary.

 

[TBrown]

Everyone knows ZBo calls 2 lbs of weed a light Thursday

2 lbs of weed is a party pack for Zbo.

Glad the Grizz unis didn't really change

Glad the Grizz unis didn't really change

One of the best unis in the business. I do wish they would embrace a touch more yellow, but that's just me.

I did love the Sounds jerseys from 2016. Red is always sharp.

 

[YankeeVol]

Tayshaun Prince is back with the Grizz

















As a special assistant to the GM

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Grizzlies gave away Troy Daniels to the Suns.

 

[TBrown]

Too many players on roster

 

[95 Vol Alum]

But why swap to a crappy 2nd round pick? Just cut him. They lost value unless I'm missing something.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Maybe it's the salary piece. Dunno.
