Your Memphis Grizzlies Basketball Thread III

[Kingston Vol]

Not sure about the strategy to make a Morant selection public knowledge. Why not make the NYK sweat the uncertainty? Who knows what might come your way.

They probably want Morant to stop working out for other teams.

 

[YankeeVol]

Memphis has been granted permission to interview Portland assistant Nate Tibbetts for franchise's head coaching job, league sources tell ESPN

 

[Kingston Vol]

Interviewed Adrian Griffin as well. That’d be a good hire.

Gordon Hayward and a 2020 first for Conley.


Would y’all take it?

Whose 2020 first and how long is Gordon’s deal

 

[zjcvols]

Whose 2020 first and how long is Gordon’s deal

Hayward got two years left

 

[TBrown]

I would probably take that deal if you can’t get two 1’s out of Utah

If it’s Boston’s pick, it’s gonna be a bad 1 and essentially useless IMO

If it’s your own 1 back, then hell yeah

 

[TBrown]

Anytime you can pair a broken down version of chandler parsons with a broken down version of gordon hayward for somewhere in the neighborhood of $60MM you gotta do it

 

[TBrown]

But it convey the pick to Boston

Keeps you from being god awful while Ja and JJJ get their feet wet and gives you another asset and an abundance of cap room when you’re ready to make your next move

(Why did we sign Kyle Anderson)

 

[TBrown]

I would prefer 76ers S&T Tobias to us for Mike and we get litty

That’s my preference. Tobias is slightly younger than Hayward and isn’t coming off a gruesome injury.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Don’t see the point in competing this year if the pick is top 6 protected. Time to be real bad. Then go for it the year after once the pick is nonprotected.

Opposite. Gotta convey the pick. It has no protections after this year

 

[Kingston Vol]

Right - but I feel like there’s more control after this year. A team breaking in a point guard and second year player who played 60 games is not going to be good regardless. I don’t think there’s much to be done about it.

It seems smarter to me to tank, keep the pick to get another really good asset like Cole Anthony, THEN spend money in free agency to put some stuff around those three guys.

Which is why I’d trade Conley for whatever you can get, basically. He has value, but more than anything, he prevents you from tanking. A mid first, longterm cap relief, and maybe another pick or young player should be the goal.

They didn't want to see any pick-up in offense when Parsons went to the bench.

 

[gordonr24]

When do we want Conley traded? Before, during, or after the draft?

 

[Kingston Vol]

When do we want Conley traded? Before, during, or after the draft?

Depends on what road you want to go down. I’d prefer to get as many picks as possible as soon as possible, so before the draft makes the most sense to me.

But if you think the Grizzlies should try to compete for the playoffs this upcoming season, you probably hold on to Conley as long as possible and only trade him at the deadline if you have to.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

After the draft. Let teams sort through their needs and hopefully extract more from a team desperate for PG help.

 

[TBrown]

Not a second before Ja Morant is secured. Don’t F this up

 

[n_huffhines]

Simmons and Russillo were saying Conley belongs on Milwaukee, but the deal would probably have to include Bledsoe (and probably Hill), who of course the Grizz don't want, so there would have to be a 3rd team. What if the Jazz sent you Favors?

 

[gordonr24]

Would like to see a scenario in which the Grizz could get Tyler Herro. Ceiling isn’t very high (NBA starter) but his floor isn’t low either. Likely will be picked in the 15-20 range.

Gordon Hayward and a 2020 first for Conley.


Would y’all take it?

Yes

 

[TBrown]

I could see a world where RJ Barrett is drafted and Conley is kept..

 

[gordonr24]

I don’t like that world.

 

[Power T-Rev]

I don’t like that world.

Yeah. I dont want to live in that world
