Grizzled Vet

Well, he's done well. That last season is only partially guaranteed for $14 mm.

I kinda though Bjelica was a solid player and I'm surprised he's not staying in the NBA. Probably grew tired of Draymond

Mike wants out of Memphis after playing his heart out here because Memphis appeared to head into a rebuild. Heads to the Jazz who take their swing, but come up short. Theirs and his best chance at the championship is partially hindered by the fact his wife gave birth. It's not his fault for the timing as it happened during the Orlando bubble playoffs which should have been 2 months after the end of the NBA playoffs. That's followed by a couple years where his body is falling apart during the playoffs. His time there will end with a rebuild although he'll possibly be dealt to a contender. Not sure what contender needs an experience PG that probably is in the backup PG stage of his career. I guess if this thing goes full circle, he'll end up in Miami with Kyle Lowery.

The final comments in this coaching session or so good....and yes, NBA related.

Even if he was posting workouts, we wouldn't buy it or we'd way overreact to it. And, God-forbid, he post something like him golfing or walking on a beach, and some would criticize him for not working out 24/7.

Part of me wonders if Xavier Tillman likes being on the Vegas roster, just to get out of the house. I've said this before, but I think there would be a little market for the G-League level guys to play in June. Allow NBA franchises to add free agents (so nobody that is potentially draftable) and start playing games on off nights of the NBA Finals. Then roll in the rookies for Vegas. For me, I'm 100% more likely to watch that in the summer than I am during the college/NBA season. Yes, I want to watch Aldama play with Shaq Buchanan and Romeo Weems and David Stockton (This is not a replacement for the G-League season, but an addition to it),

I don't feel real strongly about it. I think the loss of Jalen Brunson will impact the Vegas line. Does Luka come back in shape this off-season? I like the pickup of JaVale, but I think they are now just adding minimum wage guys. We'll see what happens here in next couple weeks.

I wonder what the delay was?

Happy to see the Warriors lose another player, but they are probably just opening up opportunities for their youngsters.

With the loss of Kyle and JJJ injury, I wonder if the Grizzlies still bring in another big. Only healthy guys on roster above 6'9" are Aldama, Adams, Tillie and ZW. And what's the date on guaranteeing Danny Green's salary? I thought he was to be waived by now. ETA: Saw this on Spotrac - 2022-23: non-guaranteed, fully guaranteed on 7/1/22 1/10/23 ($6,964,781 was guaranteed on 6/24/22 as part of PHI-MEM trade).

Are the Pelicans finishing ahead of the Grizzlies next year?

I'm trying to predict how many teams Vegas might have ahead of the Grizzlies. Suns - probably Warriors - yes Clippers - probably Nuggets - probably Pelicans - probably should be Mavs - probably not T'Wolves - probably not Jazz - No Lakers - No No to the Spurs, Kings, Blazers, Thunder, Rockets

Would rather have Yuta back then Montrezl.
