I hope Jaren stay as focused as he says he is...

I think this FA is kind cold, Woj didn't gave any bomb yet.

Me too, people is underestimanting the flashs he showed.

I hope for a strong SL and to see coach making it clear that he will be the starting sg, then he has a 75 overall rating chance.

Half of the time with Bane in the weight room the other half in the court with Allen, he must to learn to take easier shots.

If the get Precious so Siakam will really be available. Do you guys think that a package of Tyus + Allen + SlowMo + Clarke + picks would work? It would be a win now move, but we would give probably too much for him and we would have to go after at least 2 FAs to replace the depth lost in the deal.

He deserve a SlowMo / Jae Crowder type of contract in my opinion. Between the 5 ideas I proposed, trading for: Grant (Pistons), Brogdon (Pacers), White (Spurs), James and Bagley (Kings) and Roco (Blazers). This last one is probably the easist to make, maybe we should add more protection to the pick

You guys are underestimanting 3 things: the role he will play here of the bench against being a starter, the fit he will have as a bench player around 3 other plus defenders and that it will be his contract year in before probably his last big contract.

I quite agree, but when you watch the tape everybody has his bads and his good. If I have to bet, I would bet Murphy. But if everything clicks for Ziaire he might be really good.

I follow the Grizzlies for more than 12 years, I just changed the names, of course I want Ziaire to suceed over Murphy. It is just that I believe Murphy is the better player and wrote it the wrong way. I am too long here to not be a Grizzlies fan, I might even be more of a fan than many guys here, because this is not the team of my city or even my country. I choose to follow the team.

With all the unknow around Lillard and the situation surround the Blazers, and since they already declined Collins options, I think this could be a fair trade for both teams. They upgrade their bench and we get a player that help us win games and improve our run from last season. http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=yg4qb2ng Give them a top 5 protected pick. Why for us? We add more 3&D and size to our wing rotation. Why for them? They are probably trading Lillard anyway, so they get good assets. Sign Olynyk or Portis to a 3 year with the 3rd being a team option. Ja/Bledsoe Ziaire/Melton/Bane/Konchar/Weems(TW) Dillon/Covington Jaren/SlowMo/Tillman/Tillie/Pons(TW) Adams/Portis This team would be good this year, really depth/balanced and hunting for the 7th or 8th seed, but probably play in material. Also if everybody devolop and master their roles, we could be great in a year or 2.

We will have 3 picks next season, probably one middle and two late 1sts. I think we trade once again up to draft for another wing project with star, maybe superstar, potential. So I want the Jaden Hardy and other wing options.

They have to move Tyus or Bledsoe + Allen or Melton to settle the rotation.

This, if it was more 3 years like Duarte this could count but less than 2 years it shouldnt matter. Dont get wrong, I hope that they are right and Murphy is the better player down the road. After watching the tape about both of those guys I dont see it.

Did we work Murphy or we interview him?
