Friendly reminder that the only time we were successfully hyper aggressive in free agency it resulted in Chandler Parsons stealing nearly a hundred million dollars
The best option probably would have been Harrison Barnes but at that point no one knew KD was gonna go to GSW. Wallace caved to the pressure and didn't do his due diligence before throwing the bag at the first guy who seemed decent and would meet with him.
Fine signing in theory. Shoulda been more wary of his personality and his ability to stay healthy but otherwise the core 4 were past it and not going to make another deep playoff run.
It would be nice if Chris Wallace could have ordered a fuckin physical first man.
Parsons talked about him and his agent knew his knee was cooked, so they took the Memphis offer before Portland got a doctor to look at him
Yea. Parsons was the last nail in the Chris Wallace coffin. At least we got that from the bum knee-having, Chancun, pedo. And now we’re in the most exciting era of Grizz basketball.
For the sake of making a move?
I think we need a third string C and for someone more dependable than D Rose, but hardly reason to be upset it didn't happen in the first 24 hours...
honestly I just made this at first because i thought the meme was funny
But it is interesting that since the 2019 season, the Grizzlies have only signed 2(!!!) free agents that weren't on the team previously. One was Tyus Jones back in 2019 and the other was Derrick Rose last year. So no real impact player signed for almost 5 offseasons.
Kleiman is very aggressive about trades and drafting but it's kind of insane how the team almost completely ignores free agency as a means of player acquisition.
Obviously you don't need to use free agency to win because the Nuggets and Celtics both fielded their starting 5s from drafted/traded players but it is interesting nonetheless
I have a growing fear that it’s not lack of trying and more people just not wanting to come to Memphis no matter how good/cool/fun the team is.
It’s a terribly depressing thought.
Then again people sign on with Oklahoma City so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
tbh i kinda get the impression its stressful to play for la or boston cause have one bad game and the fans immediately cry 'get this bum off my team but by zaire's 47th bad game gets a 'guys, maybe the grizzlies just isnt the right space for him'. pros and cons i guess.
also sorry zaire but you are also very cute so dont hate me.
damn i for real did not intend to exemplify my point immediately after i made it but seriously, maybe it sucks to live in memphis but we love our guys.
That would leave Marcus as the only vet. Any move off of him can't be to give the spot to a young prospect. We still need that leadership.
I could be OK with swapping him for Kevin Love.
Or maybe the team was so injured last season, it’s hard to evaluate players being asked to play outside of intended roles. So they more or less want to stand fast? For the most part
After this season, it will feel dam good to be a Grizz fan..we are loaded for the future..I'd wait on this youth movement..if we get somebody cool if not even cooler 😎

I heard someone on the radio talking about him earlier. I don't watch any Orlando ball, but they did say he was kind of a stretch 5, which could be interesting at times and definitely would give us a 5 out look.
I heard that too, his per36 was supposedly pretty solid. 10-15 mins would probably be fine, and like I said earlier, could give us potentiality different looks and a 5 out at times. I am really digging how we are looking at being extremely versatile. I just hope we find our killing blow and don't end up being a solid 2nd and sometimes 3rd round out, bring a jack of all, master of none.
Not wrong, but looking at last season’s FA signings _a lot_ of FAs actually changing teams have been overpaid. Also with how last season has gone our players are not exactly valued right now _and_ any fa with a winning mindset will not have us on their wishlist which makes it even more likely we’d have to overpay, not even counting the small market argument here.
I’m feeling more comfortable with the FO being cautious. Let the current roster play 30 odd games and see where we land. If we’re in the 1-3 spot, we might suddenly have way more options.
I wish we made a move or something how are we in win now when we are still trying to develop players on genuine note…, if we be realistic as grizzlies fans athleticism doesn’t last long I just don’t want us wasting our young core time… the Timberwolves almost made it to the finals. I’m expecting us to get to a championship round in the west, winning and hopefully win the championships in the next 2 to 3 years.
Damn, its 3 straight off season that the FO refused to improved the team via FA signing.
Edey is unproven rookie that cant play with BC. How the fuck are they going to rotate the big. They can’t rebound for shit.
Presti learned from them, he maximize the offseason after their first 50+ season. While the grizz did after is trade all their vet and triple down with rookies lmao
Had that thought today as well. OKC doing now what we should have done.
What I don’t understand is how we accidentally saved huge amounts money when Ja’s deal couldn’t be super-maxed or whatever because he missed out on All-NBA and Jaren signed a pretty cheap deal after coming off injury seasons, right? So why don’t we have money to compete in FA sweepstakes?
And does that show the front office is actually doing a kinda shitty job because imagine how screwed the team would we be if the Ja and Jaren contracts were what they should have been and they had even less money to work with.
They had all the chance to improve the roster but i don't know what happened. Like next offseason, they will have less money to work with. They basically have 2-3 window before everything gets too expensive or before Ja's knee start slowing him down(we all know he's game is too reliant to his athleticism).

Hey we got VC that one time
And SLOW MO that one time
That was a a vet signing, but also hype as hell
The only NBA jersey I actually own is a Vince Carter Griz jersey
I still miss Grizzlies VC. Such a great veteran presence.
FCP
It was either him or Evan Turner. Pick your poison. Mike Conley was taking meetings with Dallas and ready to go if we didn’t upgrade the roster
The best option probably would have been Harrison Barnes but at that point no one knew KD was gonna go to GSW. Wallace caved to the pressure and didn't do his due diligence before throwing the bag at the first guy who seemed decent and would meet with him.

Man life is so much easier to deal now that he’s not our GM. Possibly the worst drafter in NBA history
Friendly reminder, that brought the end of GnG at the right time that allowed us to get jaren and ja.
Yea. Parsons was the last nail in the Chris Wallace coffin. At least we got that from the bum knee-having, Chancun, pedo. And now we’re in the most exciting era of Grizz basketball.
I'm happy with all the homegrown talent.
You're not a true Grizzlies fan if you can't handle the boredom at times.
Thank you!
It is a little weird our name isn't even being floated as "memphis is interested in..." to make it seem like there is more demand for certain players.

I hate to say this, but I think plenty of people would rather live in OKC than in Memphis.

The best players generally don't hit FA
D rose should not be on the team next year. At all
That would leave Marcus as the only vet. Any move off of him can't be to give the spot to a young prospect. We still need that leadership. I could be OK with swapping him for Kevin Love.
He’s simply a waste of a roster spot. He’s washed, he couldn’t even start over a midget on our MASH unit team
I don’t really get it. What are they gonna do besides re-signing Luke? Is there a realistic trade out there they can make?

Nobody above us wanted to trade down.
If they could’ve done it for a fair deal I’m sure they would’ve. Happy to see what Edey does for us though.
Nba free agency is really a garage sale if you look at it years later.
You have no cap room? What do you want
Or maybe the team was so injured last season, it’s hard to evaluate players being asked to play outside of intended roles. So they more or less want to stand fast? For the most part
We’ve made big moves! We signed DJ Jeffries!
lamar stevens would play c if we asked him to im just saying that hes that type of guy and we need him🤷

well it ain't going to be Bitadze, he's staying in orlando they did not pick up Mo Wagner's option though, he'd actually be a nice fit
I heard someone on the radio talking about him earlier. I don't watch any Orlando ball, but they did say he was kind of a stretch 5, which could be interesting at times and definitely would give us a 5 out look.
his advanced stats are really quite good
I heard that too, his per36 was supposedly pretty solid. 10-15 mins would probably be fine, and like I said earlier, could give us potentiality different looks and a 5 out at times. I am really digging how we are looking at being extremely versatile. I just hope we find our killing blow and don't end up being a solid 2nd and sometimes 3rd round out, bring a jack of all, master of none.
Man, Mo Wagner is like 50% Lauri Markkanen. Why can't we have good things smh.

What is this phallic thing with a leash on Grizz?
I wish we made a move or something how are we in win now when we are still trying to develop players on genuine note…, if we be realistic as grizzlies fans athleticism doesn’t last long I just don’t want us wasting our young core time… the Timberwolves almost made it to the finals. I’m expecting us to get to a championship round in the west, winning and hopefully win the championships in the next 2 to 3 years.
Bucks fans too😭😭😭
As a Pistons fan, I share this feeling
same here as a heat fan
Do we really have to make any moves?

Its 3 straight offseason of instead of improving the roster, its getting worse lmao
Who out there are you going to get?
Bring Big Body Roddy back!!!
Soft pass

Off his foot.
Fuck no please. Be content with Edey.
