Black kid from Jersey. Don’t let the lighter skin confuse you.
I'm glad he finds a team that really needs him, I wish him the best in Memphis.
Good night, sweet prince.
MEM is interesting. I love JJJ but will Gasol continue to slow down? It might be really hard for some of these guys leaving SA and being used to winning going to cultures where winning is not the norm.
I think Slomo is most def in for a culture shock. Memphis has been a cluster that last couple of seasons. They just gave him grown man money and I doubt they will be as patient with him as our coaches were. It's time for him to put up some real production for a team that desperately needs it. I wish him the best but confidence was never his strong suit and he's gonna need a lot of it to succeed going forward.
He did well to get his money and get paid. NBA careers for roleplayers are so fickle and you can get injured and it’s over.
No one is going to say this team is guaranteed for the playoffs. Not only is the West brutal but their best players are injury prone, so that’s problematic. But they have JJJ to watch develop, and if Conley and Gasol are both healthy thet will win some games. Just got to keep it interesting for the fans. They are also trying to get younger and going back to their roots as a defensive team. At lest they have a plan. Many lottery teams don’t even have a clear plan, or want to be running and gunning with less talent than the super teams. That doesn’t work.
It will be interesting to see what happens to them. Unfortunately I do expect injuries to their old core to derail everything they had planned, but out of the lottery teams they seem less hopeless. If I was him, that plus the money is sufficient to be interest and keep him happy. He could be in the Spurs next season getting paid less l and still not be guaranteed Kawhi stays or that Lamarcus stays healthy. Without them, a difficult season would ensue anyways. Hey, I dare say, going for the money and playing time is a no brained and is going to always be the right choice for guys who have never gotten their big payday.
Even with all the losing it never never seems to me like either Dedmon or Simmons regretted getting paid and playing time elsewhere.
Grown man money? Dude they paid Chandler Parsons grown man money not to do .
Parsons hasn’t been able to wipe his ass for 2 seasons, that’s a real overpaid dude. No. 1 requirement to providing good value on a deal is availability to play heavy minutes.
This is true but there was no way for them to know that he'd be such a colossal waste when they got him. It furthers my point though. They REALLY need a wing who can produce for them after wasting so much time and money on Parsons.
Good for Kyle he got paid.
You never know how long a pro career might last.
Yeah I get it. The way I look at it they're not a contender in the west and they know they're not a contender in the west. But they could be a formidable playoff team if they healthy.
Conley
Who is their starting SG this year?? Dillon Brooks is my guess
Kyle
Jaren Jackson
Gasol
That's a decent lineup that like I said won't contend with the top 4 teams but could be in contention for one of the last few playoff spots. Kyle's role should be as a secondary ball handler, it seems like he'd be a natural fit with that team. I don't think he'll make them a lot better, but he kind of fits into what they're trying to do. And he seems like a low risk too you kind of know what you're getting out of him at this point.
^^Conley is glass, he'll be out for the season by January..
people are thinking jaren jackson is going to come in day 1 and light it up for them... because of that 1 summer league game.
i dont think they're a playoff team
I like Memphis, but they have no chance of finishing ahead of GS, Houston, Utah, Minnesota, OKC, New Orleans, Denver, or the Lakers.
And the Spurz?![]()

Spurs/Lakers probably pretty even but I'd give the edge to LAL.![]()
