Official Grizzlies Bandwagon Thread

I thought Bayless was a liability.

 

1) Advanced statistics account for usage rates.

2) The Grizz didn't bring in Hollinger to cite statistics found on any fan site.

3) Really doubt they let TA go (unless someone gives him a ridiculous contract). He's a model of unpredictability/inefficiency, but he busts his ass on road games against the Wizards in the middle of December and that's something you pay a premium for. Based on their recent draft pick I think/hope they understand this.

4) How much of a perimeter threat do you want your backup center to be? I do agree that there need to be shooters added to the team, and will be disappointed if Bayless is the best we can do.

 

Also, along with the Oden rumors, there have been rumors of packaging Bayless in a trade.

 

Koufos doesn't bring anything Arthur didn't already bring. I was saying they needed a someone who can shoot in that deal, and then let Ed Davis take Arthur's old rotation spot. It seems like a mindless trade where they lost a draft pick, and gained nothing better in the process besides Koufos better PER...

 

I see what you mean. I do think a backup C was needed, though, so Koufos at least brings that in DA's absence. But yeah, shooting is key.

 

Looks like we're gonna round up free agency by signing Luigi Datome, an Italian player no one else wanted.

Pretty underwhelming considering the signings that everyone else made. Will be curious to see if our stability with Mark, Zach, Mike and TA will hold up in the arms race in the West.

Saw that. We underbid big time. Still waiting on something to be done to improve this team's shooting, whether its now or February.

 

Add Miller and Akognon to the mix.

 

Possibly bringing in Mo Williams to sure up the back-up PG role.

If that's the case, you've got Tony Wroten who they will probably try to trade (even though I'm not sure what we could get for him since he was a garbage PG in Summer League).
So then, you've got a rotation of:

PG - Conley, Williams
SG - Allen, Pondexter, Franklin
SF - Prince, Pondexter, Miller
PF - Randolph, Davis
C - Gasol, Koufos

With Akognon and Nick Calathes being your prospect guys. I really liked getting Miller for the vet minimum, Koufos for a 2nd round pick (essentially) and Akognon for the removal of protection on a 2nd round pick we didn't own. Will be curious to see if they package Prince and TW for a younger SF, but I don't know who would take that deal. Shaping up to be a pretty decent offseason, though.

 

I like the moves thus far

 

Yep, running off Wallace and Barone to turn things over to the computer dorks is working well.

 

And now there's a 180. Wallace is back, Levien is gone. Seems like this David Mincberg character is heavily involved now as well.

Really not sure what to think.

 

Seeya later number dorks.

 

Unbelievable. Make up your minds, management

 

So what the **** are the Grizzlies doing? It seems like Pera has no idea how to run a franchise.

 

Now Joerger is going to meet with the Wolves. It's all setting up to #BringBackLionel.

Not really.

 

He must like his percentages with the Wolves compared with the Grizzlies.

 

They should get Mark Jackson before he gets too comfortable at ESPN.
