    But I'm glad they did.

    This guy is probably the best sg the grizzlies have had. The grizzlies aren't going to do much this year, because Marc is out, but next year, the league better watch out for the goon squad.

    noone can shoot well 3s. So I don't know how you can be happy with your wing rotation.
    But if Lance can recuperate his value, and the Grizzlies find a good sg, while also getting a conditional 1st out of it, good for them.
    More chance too to retain Conley.

    What about Hairston? Happy with him so far? He's UFA.

    I'm pretty sure your overblown expectations are going to be Lanced very soon.

    I don't know about that. They just held a team that is 5th in the league in scoring to 40% and 25% from 3 without Marc and with a team that is pretty much a completely new team.

    Jam Green
    Barnes
    Mario
    Lance
    PJ Hariston
    Birdman
    B.Wright

    Essentially the entire team besides Mike and ZBO are completely new to the team.

    When the grizzlies get Marc back, plus they have Jordan Adams in wait and probably a midround first round pick on this team, this could be the best defense since the ben wallace led pistons.

    He's the only one who creates threads every time he has a lame thought.

    He needs to get a Twitter and just tweet this stupid **** to no one.

    Dude has played one game and he's the best SG in Grizz history. Pathetic franchise if true.

    Annnnd that's precisely why the Grizzlies won't be seeing the WCF anytime soon.

    Thanks for being you "what".

    That sounds like a great list to make a dead pool out of. Which of these will die first? Clearly Barnes and Birdman are the favorites, but Lance is definitely a dark horse.

    Lance is such an enigma. It seemed like he's on the verge of becoming an All-Star when he was with the Pacers. Now... not so much.

    The question is:
    Is Stephenson on Dray Green's level?

    He was in his last year at the Pacers.

    The dude's proven to be a headcase and can be a borderline allstar, only with the right support system in place. His Pacers success in mostly attributed to Larry Bird's positive effect on him. Do the Griz have a front office personality who could replicate that? I don't think so.

    The only place he can resurrect his career is at San Antonio (you could argue maybe the Hawks as well). The thing is, Spurs are not touching Lance while Kawhi is in line for the throne.

    San Antonio is not Houston. There is a specific type of players the Spurs sign. It's usually a high IQ, mature player type. Lance is not it. SA would not be interested in him.
