    I think we are much better set at PF with Vonleh/Collins/Swanigan than at SF. That is where the biggest impact could be made for this roster.

    Gasol is a much better perimeter than either of them.

    CROWDER GETS TRADED FOR NOTHING

    Bruh, we really could send Aminu somewhere and use the TPE to send a pick for Crowder? Did Neil consider this?

    Yet another team in our division makes a savvy move. We're the only ones who haven't.

    A single draft pick would've been a better deal for Crowder. But no, gotta draft Chimezie Metu next year.

    Neil could've even made Ezeli's contact waive deadline July 30th instead of June 30th and we could've traded his contract and a pick for Crowder. Smh.

    If Utah gets him for one of their draft picks I'll understand. But a straight up Hayward for Crowder would be frustrating

    I like Vonleh, Aminu and Turner....so what? Why does that make you tired? I get tired of shuffling the deck...over and over and over...but you're free to do that here.

    I don't think he has been traded yet. Haven't seen anything regarding it

    We need an SF that can shoot. Tired of Aminu and Turner throwing up bricks despite what they bring on the defensive side and Turner as a playmaker

    Pretty sure he's a grizzlies writer/fan.

    But I'm 100% sure he's an idiot.

    Shuffling the deck? The summer before LMA left we had the least change in the league. Last summer, we brought back 11 of 15, tied for most in the league. This summer we're on pace to bring back 13 of 15 (Technically 13 of 14 since one of them didn't even play a game for us. We "shuffle the deck" less than any other team.

    I'm tired of watching Aminu and Turner build churches, and I'm tired of watching Vonleh keel over the ball whenever he's in the paint. They're not good NBA players.
