Big Sleep
No trade for the #2 yet.Remember, if the trade doesn't go through before noon tomorrow, the Grizzlies will still hold the pick through the draft and be picking for another team. News of the trade may or may not leak prior to their pick in the draft. In other words fans, wander around in the dark a...
Muddy Waters
"Just because the Grizzlies are thinking big on the eve of this year's NBA draft doesn't mean they've settled on using the No. 2 overall pick to select 7-3 center Hasheem Thabeet. Or any player, for that matter. The Griz are just as likely to trade the pick — and it appears that is their...
Wait for it...
Oh lord, it's happening...No Thabeet, no Thabeet, no Thabeet...Also Vince Carter to Magic, love it, but they need one more guy, an athletic small forward, not a swingman, to play defense with enough range to hit the three for around the MLE. Ironically the Cavs need the same exact player.
The Fallout
So it's three days past draft day. The Grizzlies have acquired Hasheem Thabeet, Sam Young, DeMarre Carroll, and Quentin Richardson. Hasheem was taken with the #2 overall, a move that I've advocated against from the start, Young and Carroll came in the early second and late first, respectively....
Of Less Pressing Need
We've already been over the Grizzlies most marquee selection, Hasheem Thabeet (I'd link but it's only one post down), but the Grizzlies made some other acquisitions of merit in last week's draft. Tonight I'll give a run down on these three players, and what they might mean for the direction of the...
Riders on the Storm
It's coming. Free agency begin tonight at 12:01 a.m. The Grizzlies are commanding significant cap space this summer, though reviews are mixed as to whether the front office intends to drop major cash on a free agent or will stand pat and keep costs relatively low. Regardless of how much Heisley...
The One That Got Away Then Got Caught Again
Carlos Boozer has decided to come back to Utah. Mehmet Okur has decided to come back to Utah. Andre Kirilenko is still in Utah. Utah has vowed to keep Paul Milsap unless the offer is ridiculous. Boozer is happy whereever he gets the most money. Utah is not happy with Boozer, and their management...
The Real Infinite Sadness
If you thought overpaying David Lee was bad, the Grizzlies have reportedly traded Quentin Richardson for Zach Randolph. It's not official yet, but generally when a trade is broken to a major publication, it's official. Can I get a moment of silence for any good karma the Grizzlies built with...
Hoping for Retirement
I would like to point everyone to the good Clippers bloggers over at SportsBlog Nation. They do a good job, and are very in touch with their community and the general fan opinion of the team.Their first post today was entitled "Don't Expect July Fireworks." Their second post of today was entitled...
