The point was more about finding the next big draft mega-steal. I realize there's a difference (albeit small) between being a second rounder and taken 20th overall, but the point is largely still the same. If D-Mo is as good as we think he is, he stands a good chance of upstaging some very shaky top ten picks (i.e. Thompson, Biyombo). Always a nice card to have in your back pocket.
What's the deal with Thabeet? He was alright in college. Now he makes Shawn Bradley look like an All-Star
That sounds like a question for... Spoiler bicycle repair man!!! <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/U01xasUtlvw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
So what if we trade Hill and Martin for Marc Gasol and that would work now that the grizz are sending out OJ then would that leave us cap space to get nene?
It pisses me off that Gortat gets half that. But you're right. We make the playoffs last year with him instead of Hayes.
Kmart taking OJ's spot? I feel like we should try and deal Scola FOR SURE if we get gasol... pat pats mid range shot would be complimented more by gasol tha_n scolas inside game
Gasol junior was a human garbage when he was drafted (yes, it's true). He was truly awful in Girona that time, he was slow, he wasn't able to catch the ball, the score in the post, to shoot, to rebound more than a three-five feet far from the basket and he wasn't an NBA type of prospect that time, he just had size and surname or genetics whatever But, he really exploded the season after the draft and became the top-3 player in ACB. From a bust to a star in a heartbeat. It was a memorable turnoaround
It would be close. We would have to amnesty Thabeet and maybe trade another couple pieces away for cap room. 1. Mike Conley (6.5 Million) 2. Kevin Martin (11.5 Million) 3. Rudy Gay (15 Million) 4. Zach Randolph (15 Million) WOULD be pretty nasty. 48 Million in cash would be locked up though. With Tony Allen and Darrell Arthur, they would have 53 Million in cash. That said, the only way they get rid of Gasol is If they have a C coming back somewhere. My question is this... Could they conceivably clear enough cap room to sign a guy like Samuel Dalembert If they lost Gasol for Martin? The more I look at it, the more I see how impossible it is to get Marc Gasol. This franchise has ZERO flexibility, and we are F'ed in the A...
Twitter wars strike again. It's absolutely comical how a clearly false twitter post stirs up basketball fans. adrianwoj is getting just as bad as sam smith and peter vecsey.
Scola's mid-range game is money. Patterson has gotta prove he can rebound consistently before we let Scola go.
via twitter: @PetePranica Pete Pranica Looks like we'll end #grizzliestrainingcamp session with a scrimmage. Yes!! 15 minutes ago @PetePranica Pete Pranica To answer all the questions, Marc Gasol is NOT at Grizz practice. 3 minutes ago
So before an offer can officially be made the Rockets have to put someone on waivers, presumably Thabeet? And if Memphis matches we will have no centers at training camp?
I don't like reading books. The only thing I like reading is into things and I love reading into this!! Let's hope for some good news today :grin:
