Your Memphis Grizzlies Basketball Thread III

After fouling everything in sight his first game, Mashack has seemed to settle in a bit. Rather have him on a 2-way setup over Yuki.

I never understood the Yuki thing. Were they hoping for a Lin 2.0?

Novelty act, imo.

I mean, how many Japanese are there in Memphis*?

Low, but he was universally popular.

I get it, I like the story. But come on

I never understood giving him a roster spot. He’s a great dude by all accounts but not a serious NBA PG option. Happy to be wrong for his sake.

He played in 22 games last year and didn't play a meaningful second of basketball...

It wasn’t even an experiment. Just a PR grab

Lowe did 15 minutes at the end of his show on Memphis

Welp.

Cliffs notes?

Cliffs notes?

Middle tier, treading water team this season unless Coward hits big. ~44 wins, cusp of play in game.

Ja needs to be a top 10 player for this to work over the next few years. Skeptical though.

May have 2 lottery shots next draft.

JJJ is what he is now. Not much upside left. Like his game though.

Trio with Bane had run its course.

If GG and/or VW make a jump, they’d have to rethink this team for the better.

Bench is deep.

Nothing mentioned on the FO or coaches.

Won't dunk in game. Off season camps though, let's go!

 

[gordonr24]

Playing two games overseas and losing a home MLK Day game sounds like sabotage to me.

Laughable

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

Taking away the Bane return game and MLK game may be the NBA's way to try to get this team to Seattle...

The Grizz giving up the MLK game could also be a big F.U. to the local mayor for FedExForum lease negotiation stalling...

But hopefully his dad isn’t

That’s real horse shat. Just ridiculous. NBA becoming a joke league to me.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

The NBA or the Grizz cant be this stupid....

Unless you are trying to poison the local market

 

[95 Vol Alum]

The NBA nor Grizz cant be this stupid....

They want to put a team in Mexico City. I cannot think of a worse fit for NBA and its players. Joke league.

They have a James Dolan problem so they cant expand to MX, SEA, or LV....

Id suspect NOLA is the one that would be first in line to move but Grizz are probably 2...

I’m waiting for game/play fixing to bring it all down.

Tim Donaghy nor Game 6 Lakers/Kings did that...
