That's a pretty damn good trade for the Hornets. Pondexter is horrible, while Vasquez seems capable of being a pretty solid 8th or 9th man.

New Orleans has traded Quincy Pondexter to Memphis for Grevis Vasquez, a league source tells Y! Sports.

I don't get this trade for Memphis
They're trading their backup PG, who played well in the playoffs for a 3rd string SF that hasn't show jack.
Am i missing something ?
I've missed that Memphis signed Pargo this offseason. It looks like they're high on Pargo.
Mavs have entered the bidding to sign Fesenko.
Because they feel like they're short of big men.
So are going to actually do something about it.
Tim Duncan is concerned about the depth of the Spurs' rotation, particularly in a condensed schedule.
"We need some guys to step up, a lot of guys," Duncan said. "We’re going to need some of our bench to find their way and find their rhythm and help us out a lot." Duncan will start alongside DeJuan Blair in the frontcourt, with only Matt Bonner and Tiago Splitter behind them (unless you count the make-good contracts of Frank Hassell and Luke Zeller).

Grizzlies had a longjam at the guard positions and needed size. makes some sense. they still have more need for a PF. another trade following? Gay?
Meh, I remember some wanting to draft Pondexter the year James Anderson was our pick.
Yep, Pargo has clearly shown them that he is a stud. Great pick-up for them...
But at least we got Tj ford...
So was I. I wanted the Spurs to get him. He must be showing them something.
I was hoping the Spurs would at least feel out interest in Fesenko...especially with the options getting pretty thin. Its not like any of the cast offs are any better.
spurs continue to sit back and do nothing....
The only way understand why we're starting with just four bigs (Tim, Bonner, Blair, Splitter) is 'cause :
1) Pop and the F.O. think that we already have five (KL being the n° 5);
2) they want to use these first weeks to understand is right or at least it works;
3)they're not excited with the players currently on the "market" and they think, at the same time, that these players are gonna fill the roster of other teams with guaranteed contracts ... so freeing the possibility for spurs to be compe ive, money wise, and so have future chances to sign eventually other (waived de europeised or de-chinesed etc etc.) players.
...with that said I frankly don't understand why the f.o. cut players with minimum contracts that could be extremely useful in case of emergency during these first weeks...considering the economic damage we're gonna suffer, also if we are in lux tax territory, is minimal.
I think would have been better to keep, at least, one "insurance" big guy... I loved some things I saw of Gani Lawal, for example...and the fact he spent the (reduct) training camp with the team is a plus till we can't find any one clearly better than him.
Pop is going to use small ball more often, so there won't be a need for the fifth big. Since Duncan can't log many minutes and neither can Splitter, the rotation is very thin.
They could still trade RJ mid-season. However, like in the case of Kurt Thomas, that player won't be able to contribute this season. I still have hopes Dice changes his mind and re-signs.
For this season we have Anderson and Splitter at full health. Other pundits even consider Splitter as candidate for most improve player of the year. so why worry? The big we need will come in time if he is really is meant for us.
any of these frontline combo is good
duncan/blair
duncan/bonner
duncan/splitter
this is not good
blair/bonner
blair/splitter
splitter/bonner
As Tim can't play 48 mpg, then I guess our situation is "not good."
Just watched a D league game where Brandon Costner, 6'9" 235, dropped 36 pts many from waaaaay outside. According to the announcers he's the most improved player in the league this year.
Same game SG Osiris Eldridge dropped 52 pts. Are any of these D leaguers worthy of a look or do they just appear to shine against that caliber of compe ion.
Most of them can't do in the NBA
Terrence Williams avg triple double in the D-League and can't even crack the rotation in Houston
I wish Pop would forget about small ball. It's never really worked. Last time they won in '07 Oberto was part of the rotation. In fact if he had not been on the floor at the end of game 4 in '07 they might not have beaten the Cavs that game.
There's alot of things Pop needs to forget about, tbh.
