Grizzlies Will Not Make Qualifying Offer to Ronnie Brewer

Five games. For a first rounder! FIVE! I get the injury, but come on!

Especially infuriating is this free agent class is heavy on SFs. We could get a quality combo wing to pair with X and Brewer for a reasonable price! But instead, we’re going to blow our ass out for Rudy Gay and the pull-up 18 footer.

Gah! Do you see, DJ? THIS IS WHAT COMES FROM SUPPORTING THE RUDY RE-SIGN.

I’m sure we did this so we can pay Lester Hudson! ^ _^

The grizz are in desperate need of versatile players like brewer. Not only that, he would expand the fanbase since he played at Arkansas and was a fan favorite. I have never seen a front office make so many stupid decisions. Its as if they are trying to sabotage a promising roster. Lets review some of the genius decisions made by this front office recently:
 
 1. Brewer – discussed above; very versatile – can arguably defend 4 positions and was a fan favorite at Arkansas which couldve helped to increase the fanbase.
  
2. Last years draft – they select Thabeet with the 3rd pick. i honestly vomited in my mouth when they made this pick. Any fool shouldve been able to tell that Thabeet is not ready to contribute in the NBA and I have my doubts that he ever will. He did nothing in college to even make you think he would be more than a backup and defensive replacement in the NBA. Not only that, Tyreke Evans, James Harden, Steph Curry, and Brandon Jennings were still on the board. I had thabeet graded in the 20-25 pick range. I honestly had Evans, Harden and Curry as 2-4 in the draft with Flynn 5 and jennings 7th. Could they have made a worse pick with so much talent left on the board?!?!? Literally AMAZING!!!
 
 3. They sign Rudy Gay to a max contract. He is a good player but not worth anywhere near what they paid him and I have my doubts about him being able to carry a team. I am hoping that they find a way to trade him so that this contract doesnt doom them for the next 5 years.
 
 4. In this year’s draft, they draft Henry who couldnt even create his own shot in college. Not only that, they sell their second 1st round pick for money when Pondexter was still on the board. Pondexter would have been a steal and he would be a great fit on this team. Then they go on to draft Vasquez who is too slow and unathletic to ever be anything more than a shooter off the bench. Why not package these three picks to move up and draft a difference maker like Monroe?? if not, at least draft Ed Davis who doesnt have so many question marks.

Anyways, I had to come on here and vent a little because I cannot, for the life of me, figure out what in the hell this front office is doing. Every move they make is dumber than the last and it appears as if they are trying to sabotage the damn organization. I really dont know what to think anymore.

5 or 6 times a year to watch em play. I want them to succeed badly so that Memphis may someday have a chance at an MLB or NFL team. I know it is a remote possibility but it certainly will never happen if the Grizz do not succeed.

That is what is sooo frustrating – they have a damn good roster and with a couple smart moves (and not making some of the stupid ones) they could be legitimate title contenders. They are only a piece or two away IMO.

Being from Arkansas and a HUGE Hog fan, I was dreaming that they would somehow end up with Joe Johnson. Anyways, i still believe but its hard when they continue to make poor decisions.

He could definitely help and I shouldnt have bashed him. I just think they shouldve tried to trade up but they could have tried and not been able to. I also think Ed Davis wouldve been a smarter pick but behind him I guess Henry was the next best pick. I wish they wouldve considered Pondexter bc I really think he is going to be a baller

I also wish I wouldve found this board a long time ago but late is better than never. I look forward to discussing more stupid decisions with you LOL (I hope not!)
