Your Memphis Grizzlies Basketball Thread III

Bell is another knucklehead. Got suspended a game for buying his coach porn.

Please stop...

I think Bruno is about to be playing a ton of minutes for the Rockets. Hope he kills it.

Please stop...

We are one less knucklehead. Dieng coming to Memphis from Minnesota. Got a backup big.

Some perspective

That tweet ignores them giving up Crowder and Hill.

They actually turned a trade exception, Crowder and Hill into all that stuff. And my perception is that Waiters and Johnson aren't a long term anything and may disrupt the short term gains.

So they turned a trade exception, Crowder and Hill into Winslow and a 1st round pick. And Winslow has missed significant time in 2 of 5 seasons. So, if he is truly injury prone/damaged goods....

They will have turned a trade exception, Crowder and Hill into a 1st round pick that they already had before giving up Crowder and Hill.

At least that's my nitpicking view. Of course, I will be glad to be wrong and happy to admit as much if it goes well.

Well, that changes the nitpicking a bit.

Dieng is a good locker room guy and adds depth. Will help Clarke off the bench too.

Love Dieng for James Johnson.

Get waiters TF out of here and it’s fine.

 

[TBrown]

Don’t like giving up on Bruno

Considering we are about 3 wins from what I would have estimated as our season total before the year started, I can’t feel too negative about this front office.

 

[gordonr24]

Final breakdown:

1. Iggy for Waiters. Cancels out.

2. Crowder and Hill for Winslow and Dieng.

Rotation is improved if Winslow gets healthy.

You can say we just got a bunch of **** on a stick without being negative about the front office.

But the knucklehead thing...

 

[95 Vol Alum]

I'm very curious how they calculate that. Hope they are right.

IF Winslow can get healthy I think the team is better.

 

[TBrown]

Dieng’s contract is hilarious.. what a world

 

[gordonr24]

Grizz do not plan to keep Waiters. Will be released or bought out.

 

[TBrown]

Grizz aren’t keeping Waiters.

No Waiters or Johnson = GOOD

I had to look up Solomon Hill’s contract. It’s crazy what these guys make. I think Dieng may even have better value.

Im not a huge fan of the trades today. This is the first head scratcher the new front office has made so they get benefit of doubt. My concerns

1. Winslow carries a ton of injury risk. We dont have best medical track record.

2. Would have the Grizzlies been better off using cap space to facilitate other deals this summer and next trade deadline and acquire more draft capital. I think teams will be rushing to clear space next Feb at trade deadline and the Grizz gave up their flexibility.

I think Riley and Heat def won trade. They made themselves better this year and gave themselves more flexibility for next year.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

Final breakdown:

1. Iggy for Waiters. Cancels out.

2. Crowder and Hill for Winslow and Dieng.

Rotation is improved if Winslow gets healthy.

Before he signed with the Grizz, Chandler Parsons (who many deemed damaged goods at the time of signing) averaged 68 games per season. Winslow hasnt played over 68 games in 4 years.

Considering all the assets we got with the cap space fron trading Conley, I think it's too risky to give up our cap space next year in order to get Winslow.
