    Like someone else said, what were you expecting we get for Ryno?
    Losing Melton? We tried Chriss and Knight and it didn’t pay off. But in Melton’s last 8 games his season high was 4 points. And that’s in a lot more minutes than he would have gotten here. Let’s not act like we lost a contributor let alone a sure thing.

    You don't know if we lost a contributor or not. And i expected nothing from a trade involving Ryan cause i always knew he was going to be a brick on our flexibility the moment we signed him. With that said i don't know how well Melton would've played here, but we still lost at least an asset to swap Anderson with another Anderson if we can't move at least Chriss for something decent.

    I'm okay with giving up a first rounder as long as we get the Grizzlies' second rounder this year

    4 team trade

    Rockets acquire: Davis
    Pelicans acquire: Rubio,favors, Clint Capela, temple, jymychal green 4 first rounders from Houston
    Grizzlies acquire: jrue holiday, Brandon Knight and Chriss and Utah Jazz 1st round pick
    Utah Jazz acquire: conley

    I am curious if the Grizzlies will trade away talent with the Parsons Contract.
    Jevon Carter of the Grizzlies I am really impressed with, Jevon dives hard on the floor and knows how to play smart defense, plus can shoot the 3, didn't stat pad for a layup in the end passed it up for a teammate, it was against the Hornets today. His defense on Harden at Memphis was impressive also.

    So much talent on the Grizzlies, especially Forwards
    Kyle Anderson
    Jevon Carter
    Garrett Temple
    JaMychal Green

    I'd rather have Holiday than Temple. Temple is a better passer, but Holiday a better rebounder. Holiday is probably a better shooter - he hit 36% of 7 attempts while glued to the corner in Chicago. He's not playing well at all in Memphis during this brief stint.

    But the big advantage of Green/Holiday over Green/Temple is that - not only are they expiring - but it shaves about $3m off our salary THIS season (Temple makes more $ than Holiday), which I think would incentivize Morey to sign more buyout/Vipers players.

    Capela/Faried/Nene
    Tucker/Green/Clark
    Holiday/Ennis
    Harden/Gordon/Green
    Paul/Rivers

    If you add Deandre Jordan and Wesley Matthews, it's an unfathomable amount of depth for a great team. In earnest, adding House alone to that roster as backup 3 is enough to actually contend. That would be so much wing depth and length to throw at Durant/Thompson while Gordon and Paul can contain Curry.

    There's also always one reporter who chimes in with the softball question.

    Daryl, what do you think of Capela getting snubbed for the All Star game and do you feel like his return is similar to the team adding an All Star mid season?

    Sacramento cant re-acquire Temple …. and no one else has the cap space to absorb him and send nothing in return.
