Who’s minutes does Waiters take?

An injured Justice Winslow can’t be the only sweetener the Grizz get for taking one of Miami’s malcontent players (Waiters) and an extra year of Johnson (who can be a bigger Crowder and come off the bench) there has to be some draft compensation (2nd round picks) coming from OKC or Miami.

Definitely need to lock the thread if it has turned into a post count conversion 😑

I want to believe they are more mentally strong than that, but I do understand your point you don't want them to feel some type of way towards the FO. But I think that's an easy fix Pera comes to them the same way he did Mike and Marc and they have a conversation about it before hand. They can also have an understanding with Jae that if he really wants to be there they will bring him back in the summer. Me personally I don't think they need Crowder for much other than his leadership but that is easily replaceable by most vets. I think Crowder should be behind both KA and Josh Jackson skill wise.

How much is Crowder helping them win though I feel like this may be similar to the Rudy Gay situation addition by subtraction. Kyle Anderson seems to be better than Crowder or at least the statistics show he should be playing more minutes. I know Crowder is the vet leader and Ja and Jaren like him but the still have JV KA Solo as vets. If they are actually gonna give Josh a chance which I believe they should there isn't much room for Crowder on the court. So do you keep him for his intangibles or move him for good assets?

This deal with the rockets for Crowder is something I'd be interested in. I know alot of people like his locker room presence and all that but Thabo is a good vet that has been around the league and House is a pretty decent youngish player and if u can get that and their 2022 first for Crowder I think they should do that.

I'd look to give Iggy to whoever wants him I think we've all been listening to Memphis media too much and think there are suitors for Iggy when in actuality there may not be. Portland went and got Ariza when they could have done a similar trade or the same trade for Iggy that's pretty telling to me

Now I'm over the whole got to get a first back, but I'll take the best deal with the best long term asset attached

You don't hold out this long on Iggy just to get Clee and two late seconds it's either that GS second or the Justin Jackson kid for me. They should be able to at least get a decent second or a young unproven player

Nerlens Noel could be a decent pick up that could run in TJ's system catch lobs, defend the rim, and rebound. It's weird cause normally with grizz teams there are guys that can be easily replaced this team has gelled so well that I'm not sure who the replaceable guys are other than Bruno and Marko( who I think will be better next year it takes euro wings a little longer to adjust)

Agreed

No I don't I did before the season started but I think Harkless and Robinson would just be duplications of what we already have. Harkless and Robinson are a lesser version of Solo and Grayson at this point to me. I'd rather just roll with what we have and possibly try and do Clee and the GS second if possible.

I'd look for a more vet big with experience as the 4th big to be honest I think the team is real close to good on young talent and everyone seems to mesh well don't need a young guy with a chip on his shoulder trying to prove he's something he's not. You brought up Christian Wood well he's an unrestricted FA this summer just sign him on a cheap deal

Yea at this point I'm just ready for that deal to be done. I still like the Harkless and Robinson for Iggy deal the best. But it's kind of hard to find minutes for outside guys that would come in unless they are miles better than players already on the roster. I would say Harmless is at a level between Jae and Solo and Robinson is probably worse than Grayson so there's no real point in that. The Clee and GS pick may end up being the best deal cause we may be able to trade that pick or take a decent sleeper in the early second round this summer

Sure so if that's the case then Iggy isn't as valuable as we think he is and we should have just did the CLee and seconds from Dallas.
