This team has KCP, Jitty, Vince, and Jock either starting or in the rotation. How is that not an indictment on Kleiman....

Ja has quit on this team. This is about to get really ugly.

Iasalo has been ass.

Trip has regressed (although Ill give him benefit of doubt due to offseason injury)

Wells has been ass.

Santi is the wish.com version of Pau with Memphis. Plastic stats but contributes nothing to winning.

Still can't stop fouling

He still commits stupid fouls but he gets a tough whistle too..

He's not getting enough PT when he isnt in foul trouble (That's on Iisalo-Kleiman). He will never be a decent rebounder (There's no complimentary big out there now). No chance to run P-n-R with him due to inability to screen (Needs complimentary big). More timid this year when he does have offensive mismatch (that's on the injury). If he doesnt get minutes with Coward, he's out there with 4 bums (That's on Kleiman)

If the team has the intention of staying in Memphis, they need to go ahead and sign the lease. That will make the inevitable much easier to swallow for the bulk of the fanbase....

I like to be a glass half full guy. I still feel that way about Heupel compared to what UT football used to be.

But I think it’s trending that way. Pera, along with Adam Silver, is orchestrating a move out by the end of this decade when the current lease expires. It’s not hard to see through it.

Same spot with you on Heup...

But the lights are flashing that the Grizz are planning their exit.....

I find it really hard to believe Pera cares enough about moving to tank the team.

I truly believe Kleiman is just a moron.

I think he cares about moving. I dont think the tank is intentional....

Kleiman couldnt fit the assets that he acquired together...

I’m with T on this. Not some grand conspiracy to tank and move. Just move if you want to move. No need to justify it based on fielding a bad product.

Absolutely agree this isnt a conspiracy to tank and move. The team sucks because Ja has quit and Kleiman built a sh*t roster....

But the this is the same team that was threatening to use its opt out clause for COVID losses before the city ponied up tens of millions from 2022-2029...

I had jokes but will admit Vernon has been fair in his criticism this week. Particularly of Iisalo.

They dropped a mind boggling stat, Jaren/Ja pairing is the 8th most minutes on the team. Coaching malpractice at the top level.

This team looks like 2017 with Butch, 2018 with Pruitt at the end and 2020 the last half of the season - they have quit.

Ja is the main culprit but he aint the only one who has quit.

Grizzlies mired in Ja Morant drama, cooking Suns and more NBA trends I’m watching

The Memphis Grizzlies have been listless both with and without star Ja Morant on the court.

Ja has quit, we know that. Probably the most concerning aspect of this. A player who gets playing time because of effort (Vince) doesnt give any. More concerning is Coward and his effort....

Vince has always been too free with his handles for me. It’s like he is in an ASG or pickup game. Just sloppy.
