    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting "allnet":</div><div class="quote_post">or ready to getting traded...</div>That's what I thought after the Grizzlie's horrible draft, haha. But they keep piling on these mediocre to average guys that noone else could possibly want to trade for. I mean, would you want to see Robert Archibald or Mike Batiste in a Pistons uniform?

Usually when guys come in for the summer and preseason they aren't signed to year long contracts first if the organization is just testing them out.

    Archibald - 1.3 million
    Batiste - 1.3 million
    Owens - 1.3 million

    West has made stupid signings before. He signed Czezary Trybanski to a 5.5 million, 3 year deal. Last year was Trybanski's rookie year. He played in less than ten games, and the most points he ever scored was two.

    I thought trybanski had 2 double figure games against the magic, but you probably watched all the games so i dont know. BUT DAMN!!!!!!!!!! What was Jerry West thinking, he must have a slick little plan going.

People are really questioning West in Memphis. We are paying him crazy figures, but he isn't producing.

I remember Fotsis, from Greece. He was great. I wish the Grizzlies would have kept him. He worked hard and he even payed 2 million or something of his own money to buyout his contract. Then he came to the NBA as a high second round pick who could have been a first rounder and he sat on the bench the whole year not getting any minutes, with the exception of a few games. He was shipped back to Greece the next year.
