Grizzlies talk to Rockets about Shane Battier

*don't

fixed.

 

In YOUR eyes, we're desperate, because you and a lot of these guys = glass half-empty people.

 

Rockets supposedly had some interest in Xavier Henry this summer.. could be an add-on in the Thabeet deal.

 

Shawn Bradley was a mediocre C, and a monster backup C...

 

I wonder if Morey is trying to see if the Griz panic on Mayo's value and sell low tomorrow? Possible get Mayo AND Thabeet at a super low price.

 

another 2-guard? lots of cooks in that kitchen

 

I would take Thabeet for Battier in a heartbeat. We could always resign Shane next season. He'd potentially only be a rental for Memphis.

 

I think if we get Thabeet I will turn into a glass half empty person.

 

I would do Battier for Thabeet & a 1st. Battier is loved in Memphis almost as much as Neeley's BBQ. While he wouldn't be going to a contender like Boston, he would still make the playoffs.

Thabeet is worth the risk & he could work with Hayes. I'd rather hayes work with him than Dream, because Dream had amaising foot speed & coordination developed from years of playing soccer. You can't teach that.

 

i guess i'd probably roll the dice on battier for thabeet.

 

Give them whatever they want for Thabeet/Mayo/Sam Young


Give them Battier/Scola/Budinger/Anyone for Thabeet/Mayo/Sam Young/Henry or Darrell Arthur or something...

 

over-reacting??

 

Oh getting a deal done won't be the problem, what kind of deal will be.

 

No...


give them whoever they want and bring back Thabeet/Mayo/Sam Young/Henry

 

I'd love to add Xavier Henry, I was high on him in this past draft. But I don't know where we would play him or where he would get minutes, unless we consider playing Terrence at the one or we consider moving Courtney Lee for another big.

Rotation w/o Battier
SG: Martin | Lee
SF: Williams | Bud

Henry can play both SF and SG...

I hear ya.. who knows what will happen. I'll tell you at 2:01 tomorrow

 

Aren't there reports that the Grizzlies are asking too much for Mayo though?

 

Yep but they really need to move him and his salary so if they don't get takers by tomorrow afternoon maybe they just sell low to get rid of him.
