    This is Blake Griffin's first season missing considerable time since his rookie season where he didn't play. If he continually misses a lot of games due to nagging injuries, then yes they should be concerned. Wade is a terrible example, if LeBron never saved his career he'd probably be even more beat down than he is now on a terrible Heat team.

    The cap going up sucks for the fans. Having anyone get 30 million a year (except the best player in the world) will be hard to stomach as long as ticket prices remain high. The players deserve their share of the TV revenue, no doubt. But they need to take care of the fans first or there is going to be a lot of animosity. That is crazy money.

    Garnett wasn't a "franchise player" during his stint in Boston. They went to finals twice and won it once.

    Idk what it is with LMA and his disconnect with this franchise. Memphis, clips, thunder, etc have had their core for so long but the LMA/Dame era just started and this guy is so washy I have no idea what's his problem with us.

    We had one freaking healthy LMA/Dame era playoff run and this dude shows no loyalty. And don't give me that he gave us 9 years, yea he did but he had no choice we had his rights thru Restricted Free Agency, he clearly had no choice. When in fact he even bitched a few years back with wanting out.

    Quite frankly he has a problem with this city when Memphis does nothing but playoff exits every single year and yet Gasol is so loyal to them. Clips loose every year and cp3 never bitches, thunder never bitch, and the list goes on

    because they had other players to get the job done - do we? and I would definitely want to see what percentage of the cap that Garnett rec'd vs what LMA will get

    A) You don't know for sure how LMA feels about Portland, or if he has a problem with us.
    B) The history of the Clips is irrelevant since they have won since Cp3 has been there. But he sure as hell did bitch when he was in New Orleans when he forced his way out.
    C) Gasol when to highschool in Memphis, so maybe he likes the city
    D) You may want to wait until Westbrook and Durant are up for a new contract before you make that claim. The word is Westbrook wants to go to LA.
    E) and the list goes on for players not being loyal. (See Shaq in Orlando, Kareem in Milwaukie)

    Well it was pretty stupid of me to make a statement off the top of my head. I really could have sworn I remembered Griffin being injured. That ginger got the best of me.

    He was hurt (but played) the first time he was in the playoffs iirc. Other than that and what happened this season he has been very healthy.
