JA next to MIA??
Bums and crappy picks for this haul from Memphis? Why would the front office trade with Danny Ainge? He has killed the Grizz every time they've tried.
Trash ahh city
Trash ahh poverty franchise
Trash ahh GM 😂😂😂
This city and franchise will never be anything 😂lolz
Jazz fan here. Walt is a good prospect and shows indications of becoming a good shooter. Competent handle and picking things up quickly. Hendricks is working back after a bad leg injury early last season. Looked like it was going to be a good year for him in 24. In 25 Seems to lack explosion right now and has a lot to learn about nuance of the game. But he bulked up a ton during injury and I can see him figuring it out. Has shown on ball d and 3 pt potential. FRPs should actually be decent as you will get the better of ours and Cleveland next year (not MN probably), Lakers in 27 which could go either way, and the suns 31 which is elite. Seems like a good trade for both sides to me. Maybe we won't be 30th in d next year. All the best, hopefully your tank is shorter than ours has been.
FIRE ZACH KLEINMAN
Loved JJJ’s development & time in Memphis. I’ll be tuning into some Jazz games to see how he does with that team. Embracing the tank in Memphis lol.
I hope ja is not traded. He is the actual star that can put us in a championship. Just give this guy a mandatory psychological evaluation that shows he is not a real gangster and he needs to get through his identity crises fixed
Memphis sucks at trading. Undersold jjj
I’m starting to think the GM asked coach to tank this whole season it didn’t just start right now it’s been tank fest since the beginning of this season
Let's be honest tho, Morant and JJJ wasn't carrying this team nowhere, it's time to rebuild
Bro wtf is happening
13:50 you said Samone Fottachenko 😂😂 that’s basically a war crime
My opinion is that I feel we move to soon on JJJ and on Ja with the younger players that we have. I feel we already had a team that could have competed for a championship if healthy.All we needed was another rebounder guy to reserve for Zach when he went to the bench. Hopefully he can stay healthy.These trades hurts me as a Memphis fan for life😢
With all the injuries you can't make a rational decision because you just can't know if the full team would play well or not. Edey, ty jerome, morant were injured all the year . Those were vital players for this team this year… This sucks.
I dont believe grizz cant get to play in this year.
This is devastating to the city, the team, its fans, and a spit in the face to us season tkt holders who pay our hard earned money to see a product on the court. Jaren was the heart and soul of the team who loved being in Memphis. We are 1 yr removed from being the 2 seed, prob 1 month away from being back healthy and seeing what we could’ve been—that is something we will never know.
All for what?? To build around a rookie who has played half a season & a big who can’t stay on court? People embrace the tank as if it means we’re guaranteed to achieve greatness in a few yrs. How long have we seen rebuilds going on in Brooklyn, in Portland, in Sacramento, in Utah, in Washington? There is zero guarantee. We got our stars with the #2 and #4 draft picks, we may not even be top 10 in 2026. The rebuild after GNG was necessary because our stars had peaked, were old, & it was time to move on. Ja and Jaren still are in their prime & could have their best yrs ahead of them, but we will never know.
That doesn’t even speak to the emotional aspect of it. Fans forge an emotional relationship with these players. It’s such a disservice to dismiss that.
I have always maintained that no single player is more important than the team, that our allegiance is to the Grizz first and last. But this FO has forced me to reconsider since they clearly have no regard for what we think.
AS a day1 diehard Grizz fan I can tell you this forget about those picks LOL, pretty sure Ja,JJJ,Desmond,Dillon where drafted picks from the "Grit/Grind Era" rebuild and look how that played out same ole farmer team grizzlies… Go Grizz
Clayton is better than pippen … lol.
Just saying the Grizz now have the assets to trade for Giannis
Thanks JJJ. I understand the long-term plan but he Grizz should have gotten more for such an amazing player.
Sadomasochistic franchise. Dillon, Adams, Bane, now JJJ? Soon as Ja is gone, I will abandon this franchise bc they did this to themselves
This hurts more than GnG coming to an end😢
Thank You Jaren! Triple J! 🐻🔥🏀
I’m already sad to see Trip go, he was the heart and soul of this team and a team that was what should’ve been. But I’m even more pisses at yet another trash trade where we trade a great player like JJJ and get nothing in return. I’m so damn tired of hearing the Grizzlies and tank in one sentence every 4 or 5 years , all for nothing! 😡😡😡😡😡
Joe…can you & Damichael give your commentary on why Kleiman should be trusted as the steward of a rebuild considering how the Nxt Gen Grizz era has been handled?
crazy how over the summer we was saying this szn ja can be scoring leader or mvp, this can be his best season of his career etc, and now joe talking bout trade him for filler😂😂😂
I don’t trust Kleiman with first round picks. Sure, Edey looks good, but he was an obvious need. Too soon to tell about Cedric Coward.
Grizzlies fan king I just said this already these owners do not know what they're doing you've never been a young team for 5 years and you're done demolishing the team the demolish the best player that by selling all the best players know you demolishing the starting five now you're going to sell Jackson when the best starting five shooter this club this club is a this club with his young owners they don't know what they're doing you have to be a lot of young team you leave that table fire 5 years this one is all about money this team getting back to worse reversing
Definitely unsubscribed from fanduel wont be watching no more. Didn't expect it to sting this this much when I heard rumblings of the possibility. Became a fan of the grizzlies and basketball in general because of these next Gen grizzlies and I should've listened to ppl around the city when they told me this is just an unserious franchise
Celebrate the new talent coming in now but all it will be is developing players to audition for other teams trade them in a few years tank rinse cycle repeat. Never call out the FO office for any missteps. There's always the draft a few years of young talent before they get traded to the Lakers smh. Gil arenas was right some teams don't wanna win
I actually think we should keeep ja
Guess we should trade "GRIZZ" too. Since we're trying to get younger, we can be the "Teddy Bears!" 🐾😡
Jaren was a great player for Memphis…they are looking for great players for Las Vegas
Gonna miss you so much JJJ….
Bro we gave up too much draft players don’t always play out to be good and everybody not okc that’s the only team it’s work out for …Look how many teams tried the same thing
So who or when are we going to hold the GM accountable to know what’s the plan going forward? Where they do that at with no presser afterwards
Sometimes I get confused on if this a Mem grizzly podcast lol like you won’t us to be sorry only thing we should be doing is getting Gianni’s… but with this trade we could have gotten anybody
