Yet another guy i'd rather invest minutes in over Parsons. He is probably the most athletic true SF on the roster.

Marc Gasol Mike Conley Jtrip Dillon Brooks Kyle Anderson JAM Those last 3 spots will be filled by Temple, Marshon, and Harrison or Mack. I agree with you on how to handle Parsons in theory but he should be played some minutes just to build up his trade value. If he shows he can contribute some maybe another team will bite. Its kinda funny how fast we changed from a young limited experience team to a team full of young veterans. Marc is the oldest guy on the roster and we potentially will have only 2 guys in rotation with less than 2yrs experience.

Yep Martin is the one who needs to lookover his shoulder. We are just trying to collect as many solid nba players as we can.

Yep not sure why anyone thinks 2way prospects should all be potential AllStars. The guy fits the mold of the new Grizz type player. He is versatile, playmakes' and plays both sides of the ball. Im totally cool with the pickup.

WTH??? This definitely means Jevon is going to be on the Hustle all year. Also means after the last two seasons where we played like 28 G league dudes has scarred them. JB wants vets to ensure we make a real playoff push.

That's only true if they also didn't want to add an additional shooter. They wouldn't have been able to add an additional shooter if they simply just waived DD or Ben. that money still counted towards the cap. Trading was the only solution and nobody takes the garbage that is Ben or DD without a sweetener. Seriously all the moves they are making are To develop young players (majority of coaching staff have developmental expertise) try to make playoffs (picking up reliable vets) insure we give BOS pick upcoming season embrace defensive identity(GNG) and create longterm culture Heck even moving DD removes another obstacle to hamper JJJ playing time. Why complain about a future 2nd rd pick in unknown draft when the team is literally doing what most of us want? JJJ is the centerpiece in my eyes and everything i see being done shows me Grizz believe that too. I ain't losing sleep over Selden, Kobi or Rabb playing time. IMHO JJJ, Dillon, and Kyle are future building blocks the rest of the young guys have to make a case for inclusion this upcoming season.

Who says they won't develop Selden? Selden was likely a 3rd stringer anyway and nothing is stopping him from becoming the long-term solution. Both Temple and Selden can play either wing spot. It isn't like they can't be on the court together. No it wasn't pointless - the point was to get roster down to 15 and add another shooter. Hollinger said on Vernon show before SL that FO wanted a shooter and defensive minded wing. Kyle Anderson + Garrett Temple are exactly that. The trade helped accomplish there goals. It had a point. ?

Like others pointed out - its way more likely the pick is DD, josh Selby or Rade Zagorac than it is Jevon Carter. Besides we also received a useful player in return that we can resign if desired or use as a trade chip at deadline. Temple is a much better asset than DD or Mclemore are. That has to factored in. Whining about picking up a solid player for a pick that likely won't turn into an NBA rotation player is nitpicking.

Word is the One and Done rule won't change until 21-22 so that won't affect the 2021 draft. That draft will not be deep. The team is going all in on developing the young guys. Temple is a great vet leader and locker-room guy that's great at mentoring. Surrounding our young guys with mature veterans that have high BBIQ in a winning culture can be huge for development (see BOS UTA). He has the added bonus of actually being able to contribute to winning too. This is NOTHING like the Jeff Green trade where we actually gave up a 1rst rd pick for a dude we thought we get us to title contention.

Man i love your statement here

Which means he actually played against tougher competition than majority of the backup PGs you are touting. Bottomline is that Andrew is a solid backup and has shown ability to keep improving. he is the least of our worries.

Not sure but they did make a run at Lavine didnt they?

Yea that about sums it up. And its even more difficult to argue when FO is actually making (dare i say) savy common sense type moves. Season needs to hurry up and get here so we can all get to arguing over JJJ starting and Jevon vs Harrison and why is Garrett getting Seldens minutes!

Just heard Baldwin was trying to go after Selden after the game. LOL. Heard they were barking the entire game. Between Jevon, Wayne and Dillon we may still have the spirit of TA Zbo and Matt flowing in throw the young cubs LMAO.
