    He's got a good future ahead of him for sure. He's athletic, explosive, and gives 110% out there, but I still don't think he's ready for consistent backup minutes if the Grizz want to be a contender, because his shot is still ugly and his decision making is still shaky. Hopefully the Grizz sign Delonte West like people have been reporting.

    Honestly, the real revelation from the "reserve-less" Grizz was the play of Darrell Arthur. He's really flown under the radar. He was a steal to begin with in the late first round of the '08 draft but has also been held back by injuries since. Just after he had a breakout season in late 2011, he went out for the next season and a half. He's just now healthy again and is coming into his own at the age of 25... could be a breakout half of the season for him without Speights.

    We drafted Arthur. Who did we trade him for? Batum?

    I thought the Hornets drafted him and we bought him for cash........ then traded him to Houston for Nic.

    That's what Wikipedia says. I just remembered us having Arthur for a few minutes and thinking we got a steal.

    Aron Baynes has signed with the Spurs.

    Great to see another Aussie in the league!

    Even though I dont really like LBJ I respect the hell out of his game, his OVERALL game, offense and defense. And that is why unless OKC had a drastically better record there is no way that Durant deserves the MVP over LBJ

    Could you imagine if Batum was giving us 25 a game; then he would be in the same sentences as LJ and Durant. :D
