Zach you just raised your own price😓🤦🏾♂️
I’d move on from Marcus because Vince can do what he does for way cheaper, I like gg starting because he will be an all star someday but if you trap him to the bench he won’t.
The Grizz are definitely championship caliber
That new intro hard AF mane 🔥
Kleiman was as clear and straightforward as he’s ever been about the team going forward. I’m excited about the offseason and next year !
Is N Claxton unrestricted free agent this summer?
Have to add a big man Maybe one in free agency and one in the draft. Why two? You need a guy to play with J3 (letting Adams go was not a good move)). And you need one to play with Clarke – BC is not a cener. You can have Aldama as the swing guy or keep Jemison.
Five big men gives you all kind of combomations and extra bodies to play against all the big men in the western conference.
Examples Andre drummond, claston or get Adams back in free agency. Clingon in the draft.. It would take a minor miracle to get sarr but then again the grizzlies have never had the 1st overall pick in Memphis, maybe it's our time.
Barring injury or stupidity the Grizz will be mighty next year
Kleiman with some sense n Adams was traded due to availability he's always hurt around playoffs time
Skipping every Drake song I hear
The title window depends on getting a good big man, like the one who’s coming out of Purdue university.
Grizz should b top 4 in West with or without a big. If they got a Clingan or Edey, I think they can contend with the Nuggets.
The Grizz have the best YOUNG BIG 3 in the NBA, 2 previous DPOYs, a great young bench that can pass, shoot and defend.
Thank goodness Kleiman was clear. Those Jaren full-time 5 rumors were scaring me. 😂
Maybe later in his career, but not now.
I'm still in the place of trading Kennard. Just doesn't make sense paying a 4th/5th guard $15M. A more defensive-minded, well rounded wing, that's worse shooting 3s (36% – 42%) vs. 45% and a guy that's just a shooter, would suit this team more for the playoffs.
I may be in the minority when I say this but if I were the GM I'm taking a real good look at James Wiseman. I think the kid has a ton of unlocked potential and I started to see a bit whenever he got enough time to play with the Pistons last year.
I don't think anyone not even the GM can really tell what the roster will look like outside the big 3. Bane, JJJ, and Ja, because next year there will be so many changes being affected by the new salary cap increase. I mean look at what the Celtics have done. There starting 5 will almost double the cost of 12 man NBA rosters.
Good teams stick with their same starting 5, unless there is an injury, no matter what. OKC didn't have 205lb Chet play either the 4 or 5 based on what team they played…he started at the 5 ALL 82 including when OKC played Denver (Jokic) and Philly (Embiid). Flip flopping Jaren from the 4 and 5 is just stupid and it has to be confusing for him especially defensively. My starters would be Ja, Bane, Vince, GG, and Jaren. I would add a vet combo guard with playoff experience (not D Rose or Luke), a vet wing with length (currently not pn the roster), and a vet 5 with good size (currently not on the roster). Do I trust Zach Kleiman to make this happen? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!
If there was any doubt, Brandon Clarke talking about his summer training has given the answer. He wants to play the 4 so we need two centers.
