    Just in time for Corey Brewer to test the market.

    Bo Porter of the NBA, then. Do your think, J.B. Nice not to have to worry about the Grizz for a while.

    The Bickerstaff hire smacks of 1) being cheap and 2) an organization that is looking at multiple tank years and having a head coach that will accept management's directive to tanking. Feels like the next step could be shopping Gasol.

    Sad as it may seem, he may get more playing time than Parsons

    GRizz player (hint hint) from my ears are adamant that Gasol will force his way out. He wants to win. Discussions of a pay-cut to Philly have been mentioned. Back up to Joel if the contract works right. (Not simple money, fair money) He knows he's not a starter on that team, but he's insurance.

    FYI

    Love ya'll.

    Given Embiid's skills and his passing/success with Zach Randolph; you could even play the two of them together and pound the inside on occasion; then stagger their minutes.

    Very interesting! It is obvious the Grizz are going full on TANK with the JB hire. Gasol has to be moved.

    I'd say Conley does too but idk who takes that contract in a point guard loaded league. Especially because McCollum (and maybe even one of the DC guards) could be on the move.

    Sidebar: What universe are we living in that Mike Conley is the highest paid player?

    I am happy for JB, but you gotta believe that they know they will be bad and this is nothing more than a stopgap move.

    I just never felt like JB could be successful as the lead guy.

    He's under the Ariza insurance list. As of I have heard. Ariza will be back. He's Nearly* untouchable.

    I feel for you and the entire Memphis fanbase, what. May you keep your sanity in the coming years.
