see: Terrence Williams aka the Squid Also, the pick will almost certainly be conveyed as a 2017 and 2018 Minny 2nd rounders
What's so surprising? Portland is tied for the most wins in the NBA with the Warriors. They are clearly the second best team up until this point in the season. It's not like they've been healthy all season either. Every team has suffered from injuries (some more than others) and the Rockets won more games when they were injured than not. Lillard/Blake Mathews/Batum Chandler/Batum Aldridge/Robinson Lopez/Kaman Chandler fixes all of their problems and I hope they don't get him.
Good one but Jeff Green has played good minutes on every team he has been on since he has joined the league. There is little to no chance he is kept on the bench in Memphis. Who exactly is going to take his minutes?
Shaud, I saw Memphis wanted to cut down on Lee's minutes. One of the other reasons why they made this trade.
My guy cheezy. He definitely gives them more firepower on the perimeter. I don't think this will make them worse in anyway like some may hting.
For Jeff Green? No way. Defense would get worse. Flashy player, but Ariza is the better player than Green. Green makes Memphis better though, how much it remains to be seen.

Austin Rivers averages a surprising 22 mpg and was valued for his solid defense. I can't believe the pels would be complicit in allowing Jimmer to see more minutes. They need all the perimeter defenders they can get.
