He didn't really make Rose play defense at all, but he did turn Deng into dust, and Butler is headed that way. It'd suck to be Parsons, lol
Nobody wants no defense lowry or harden in memphis. I'd rather stick with TA than give harden a spot on the grizzlies starting lineup.
Do they have the talent to win a championship? Yes or no... They can win 57-58 games, even upset an elite team in the playoffs but they are not and have not been true contenders to win it all... and won't be until they have a top 5-10 player.
Agreed. The Grizzlies are well on their way to becoming a laughing stock, no one wants quality players like Lowry or Harden to waste their careers playing for a joke of a franchise located in the sticks.
Talk about implosion...Joerger was a terrific coach. I really thought they would drop off, but the guy used his players strengths and kept them afloat till the playoffs...and were in position to beat the Thunder if it werent for some bogus suspensions for a game 7. So many good coaches that have entered the market for your hometown Rockets, yet they keep looking the other way hoping Mchale will lead the way...

LOL. Here's Chris Vernon unloading on Chris Wallace and Wallace sounding totally stupid with his responses and atttempted cover-up of the Memphis front office mess. http://media.espn929.com/a/92272335/grizzlies-gm-chris-wallace-on-the-chris-vernon-show-5-21-14.htm
