Your Memphis Grizzlies Basketball Thread III

[95 Vol Alum]

I think the years matter more than the money.

Likely 4 years, $50M

 

[YankeeVol]

Likely 4 years, $50M

I'd be ok with that

 

[Kingston Vol]

Likely 4 years, $50M

I wouldn’t do it, personally. Don’t want it to go any longer than 3 years.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

I read a hypothesis that they may structure it on a declining scale over the 4 years. Start high, end low. Pretty rare but smart if they do.

Front loading is the smart move here. Need all the money in a few years to resign JJJ, while also trying to build the roster.

 

[Kingston Vol]

I’ve seen a couple of people throw out the idea that the Grizzlies are trying to find a sign and trade partner for JV.

I've seen a similar contract to Anderson being thrown out for there for Wright.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Grizz could take Capela’s contract into the exception, right?

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Jimmy Butler needs to wait on Kawhi to find a home before he finds one. If Kawhi goes west, stay with the Sixers. If he stays in Toronto, consider Houston or LAL (who I don't think will pursue him).

Yes, the Grizz can afford it.

Anderson was such a stupid signing

 

[YankeeVol]

Anderson was such a stupid signing

Oh absolutely (though the Grizz can afford to overspend a bit on average FAs typically). I do think a similar contract for Wright is a decent enough extension.

Parsons is still one of the worst FA signings in NBA history though.

Little pricey but 3 years is nicer

 

[gordonr24]

Can’t complain with this. Three years is great.

 

[YankeeVol]

Little pricey but 3 years is nicer

Cheaper than his option. And only 3 years. I’ll take it

 

[Blake25p]

And compared to what other guys are getting it’s a bargain. Still holding out hope for Tobias.

 

[gordonr24]

16-15-14 is the structure for JV’s contract.

 

[Kingston Vol]

16-15-14 is the structure for JV’s contract.

Protect JJJ for two and half years, trade JV for something when that contract is expiring.

I like it.

Oooohhhhh Memphis got themselves a nice asset

Fantastic deal. Anytime you can get a first round pick that far down the road with that little protection it’s great

Those pick could be pretty valuable.

Oh absolutely. Especially for a team like Memphis
