    Bo Outlaw and Troy Bell waived...

    Bo Outlaw was waived by the Grizz.....we should pick him up. Ex UH veteran, can do some good garbage time off the bench. Any ideas? According to a few sources, draft ones from that years draft, Troy Bell was an up and coming baller, pick up these two!

    I love Bo Outlaw also. But is he injured? He always plays well in summer games.

    if he's even remotely healthy, we should be all over this. he's exactly the type of 4 we need coming off the bench.

    Last time I checked, we got 4 PF. Why do we need more?

    Outlaw is a foward/tweener (plays 3, 4 or 5); 6'9" 220lbs. He's a athletic, long-armed, havoc making player! No range, but can defend/rebound and just cause hell for other offensive opponents. He's bench material. But good to have. Think of a smaller version of Cato minus the "stone hands."

    Here's the Memphis depth chart...

    Gasol > Cardinal > Outlaw (sometimes playing behind Swift at center)

    We should most definitely pick him up! He gets a lot of blocks and steals, great backup player, especially if Memphis pays him!!!!!

    i've always been a fan of bringing outlaw to this team but for some reason we've never been able to. however right now i really doubt he can do anything better than clarence weatherspoon who has just come off a pretty impressive performance.

    Bo is a tweener, all right. Can D the 3, 4, and 5. Energy guy.

    Why bring him in with C-We on the roster? For one thing this makes dealing Clarence or Juwann safer.

    I can't believe there are actually people in this thread that don't like the idea of signing Outlaw. Perfect Van Gundy player.

    What?!

    Are you idiots on crack? Bo is everything we need! If only he was taller and had a shot he would be starting material. Mo is soft as a marshmellow. Juwan jumps and boards like my grandma. Spoon's ****** can board but hes injury-prone and slow.

    Bo is the hustler, rebounder, defensive stopper in the mold of Bowen, except better! A mix of Mo and Juwan's offense, and Outlaw's hustle and rebounding will be perfecto.

    I swear, if we don't sign Bo, i will not shave for 5 years! Biatch!

    He can play 3 too. Bo hustles his ass off on the boards and d and can be an enforcer if we need one. Waive Boki and pick up Outlaw, he can play the 3 better than Nachy.

    **of course it wont happen, but :( **

    What I was thinking too. We need someone to put the fear into the Kemp/Rasho/Grants of the world. Too bad there is no roster opening for him. Bowen and him are redundant.

    Though all of this does raise the question, Why did Logo cut him?
