Even though we will be getting something for nothing since it doesn't look like Shane will return next year, Thabeet makes Darko look like Wilt Chamberlain. I say heck no since it will add about 5 mill to the payroll for someone who plays like a undrafted free agent.
don't you think he has more potential in helping ppl to reach books on the top of bookshelf in library than playing in NBA?
i think its because he doesnt have enough upper body strength to withstand the momentum, thus he uses his legs and goes hard every time hes see an openin to block. i feel like he could get injured every time he lands with one foot
so basically a move for a YOUNGER ASSET that may not pan out? PASS but if it leads to a deal for a star (which i doubt b/c thabeet isn't regarded highly around the L i believe), then ok
Considering our situation, we have take the risk of him panning out and becoming a star. It's not like Houston has a wealth of options right now.
sorry for asking this noob question, but isnt it battiers last contract? what if when his contract was over could we resign him? i htink shane likes HOU alot more then MEM...
Lol. Morey would be doing the Grizzlies two favors by taking Thabeet off their hands and helping them make the playoffs. Thabeet will not amount to anything for us so they better at least make something good out of that pick.
I'd put Thabeet in a summer workout program with Olajuwon and Deke. At worst I'd bet he'd be a 13-10 type player come October.
ClutchFans " WE WANT A DIRECTION, PLAYERS WITH UPSIDE LOLZ" Clutchfans Response to Proposed Trades " WTF THIS GUY IS A 2ND YR PLAYER AND SHOWN NUTHING OMFG DONT TRADE (Insert Aging Veteran Name Here) FOR THAT BUST" This board is comical. Everyone wants young players with potential. But anytime one is proposed everyone says the guy is a bust or isn't worth the trade. RISK/REWARD
let's put it in this way if we trade battier for thabeet. it means grizz used battier's several years services plus thabeet to get rudy gay
