    I dont think Kandi is much better than Wright. I see why they would get rid of wright tho. good move for both teams. I dont see the clippers paying the bad contracts on wright and person tho.

Which is just as bad as paying Wright all that money, but we want Kandi based on potential.

    but the clippers have cap space so it might not be max.

    i think this is a good move for the griz, this can give this years draft picks more playing time (with person gone), and a good big man.

    really? jeez. it's a good idea for memphis to pick him up, but givin him the max contract would be a little over the top. what if he actually sucks as a big man and it wasnt' because he was on the clippers?

    It wouldn't be the first time that has happened to the Grizzlies. They are currently paying more than MAX to Bryant Reeves who is injured, and just under MAX to Michael Dickerson who is injured.

    Sorry people, deal fell through. West pulled back. I have now lost all respect for him as a GM.

    Why do you lose respect for him over one deal... I think West knows what hes doing... and the deal could have just been a rumor... and why did you lock the other tread... just because the supposad deal feel through doesnt mean there isnt more comments do be made...

    I really don't see how the Grizz are going to the playoffs this year.

    L.A., San Antonio, Dallas, Houston, Sacramento, Portland, Phoenix and Minnesota (even without Rasho) still much better teams.

    While Olowakandi is an upgrade over Wright, he's not a huge upgrade. Golden State, Seattle and L.A.'s other team could all, easily finish with better records than Memphis.

    Good for West. Person's expiring deal + Wright are more valuable than the Kandi Man for the Max, IMO.

    i agree...what has kandiman done during his carrer to earn a max contract? hes been injured and underachieved what he was expected to produce. sure hes a legit center...but so is jerome james...i guess he'll get the max when his contract is up too...lol
