The 'Toine Factor

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 15:03:46 +1900

While there has been a ton of hours logged discussing the various aspects of the draft night trade that saw O.J. Mayo and Kevin Love change franchises, most of it has focused on those two players and sharpshooter Mike Miller while ignoring the other pieces in the transaction. Jason Collins should be a solid backup for the T'Wolves, while Brian Cardinal fills the need for a "token white guy" at ...

Moving Forward with the Forwards

Matt over at Hardwood Paroxysm emailed me last week to ask me a simple question that has been bandied about on the message boards for quite some time. That question was this: Why not take a stab at Josh Smith? He didn't use my response in his post about the matter, which is great for me, because now I can use it here.

Tsunami in Memphis

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 15:47:50 +1900

Wikipedia defines a tsunami as: a series of waves created when a body of water, such as an ocean, is rapidly displaced. Basically what occurs is that an earthquake causes the ocean floor to drop at a certain point, while raising it at another point, causing the temporary displacement of water. As a result of this, the water is sucked back from the shoreline to fill that point where there is ...

The problem for Iguodala and Smith: being desired is wholly unsatisfying if perhaps only two clubs can afford you, and one is the Memphis Grizzlies. Oh, suck balls. We mean basketballs, of course.

If Josh Childress leaves...

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 19:03:26 +1900

Then it would become the most impactful NBA-to-Europe move yet. When a young, contributing rotation player born and bred in the United States with every logical interest to stay in America decides to go to Europe, that leaves teams scrambling to replace him. If it becomes a regular occurrence, then it makes the already cutthroat business of international basketball even more cutthroat.

With Griz backcourt packed, Crittenton could be headed out before season starts : Grizzlies : Memphis Commercial Appeal

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 15:56:12 +1900

LAS VEGAS -- Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace sat courtside recently at the Thomas & Mack Center, looking for a way to loosen a logjam in the backcourt. A well-connected member of the NBA approached Wallace a few days into the summer league session to deliver a compliment about one of the Grizzlies' young players. "I like that kid," the observer said. "He can play." The kid? Javaris ...

3. Memphis' third 'lottery' pick No general manager is more maligned than the Grizzlies' Chris Wallace . Over the last 12 months, Wallace has been accused of everything from handing the Lakers the Western Conference crown to getting swindled by Kevin McHale in the Love-Mayo swap. But it might be time to give Wallace a reprieve. Mayo averaged 18.8 points and 3.6 assists in summer league and ...

Josh Childress Headed to Europe?

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 16:57:00 +1900

Josh Childress It made sense when J.C. Navarro and Jorge Garbajosa opted to return to Europe after spending a serious portion of their '07-08 seasons riding the pine in North America. But it would be an unprecedented move if Josh Childress, an American born and raised California kid, spurns the Hawks in favor of a three-year [...]

Down to Earth.

Mon, 14 Jul 2008 07:25:00 +1900

As we all know, the Memphis Grizzlies lost their summer league game tonight against the Los Angeles Fakers. Bad News? Well the bad news is that we lost to a team that has ONE guaranteed player on its roster. Coby Karl shredded us with his mediocre looks and subpar talent. Tis the nature of the beast I suppose. The Good news is that our team now knows the meaning of defeat, even in its simplest ...

Onte (No 'D') Greene Drops 40 Points In Summer League

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 17:49:23 +1900

Donte Greene declared for the NBA Draft after just one year at Syracuse and was selected 28th overall by the Memphis Grizzlies. He was then traded along with a 2009 2nd round pick to the Rockets for Darrell Arthur. Greene ended up signing a contract with the Rockets just five minutes before his first summer league game, where he dropped 40 points against the Phoenix Suns.

Early Spurs Summer League Thoughts

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 15:28:08 +1900

After seeing two full Spurs summer league games, I thought I’d share my thoughts so far. Spurs first round draft pick George Hill, whose college shooting percentages were off the charts, needs to regain some of that IUPUI magic. His shooting so far has looked horrific.

The Bucks lost 88-79 to Memphis in the first game of their 2008 Vegas Summer League campaign last night ( complete game video / JS recap ).

Alleged NBA basketball player Marko Jaric brought his fiancee Adriana Lima with him to the ESPYs last night, and it's easy to see why a gorgeous Brazilian lingerie model would fall for him. How could any woman say no to such a handsome fellow? That thin, stringy hair! The close-set piggy eyes! The slow-growing hint of mustache and soul patch -- why, it's like he's an adolescent pirate!

The Case for Not Trading a Point Guard

Sun, 13 Jul 2008 18:05:59 +1900

There has been a lot of discussion among Grizzlies fans about the apparent logjam at Point Guard on the team and how Memphis needs to make a move immediately to address this problem. I disagree and for some simple reasons. First off Conley is only 20 yrs old and has started a grand total of 46 games in the NBA. That is not exactly a ringing endorsement to give him the keys to the franchise. ...
