I rather have Outlaw. But I can live with Massenburg.
Who would you rather have, Outlaw or Massenberg? I guess Tony can actually defend the big centers, but I would be tempted.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- The Memphis Grizzlies waived veteran forward Bo Outlaw and guard Troy Bell on Monday.
Andre Emmett, Ryan Humphrey and Antonio Burks were placed on the injured list.
The Grizzlies open their season Wednesday at the new FedExForum against the Washington Wizards.
Outlaw, an 11-year NBA veteran, averaged 4.6 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 19.6 minutes a game last season. He played in all 82 games.
Outlaw came to the Grizzlies in a trade with Phoenix in September 2003.
Bell played six games with Memphis last season, averaging 1.8 points in 5.6 minutes.
He was selected by the Boston Celtics as the 16th overall pick in the 2003 draft before his rights were traded to Memphis.

I'd keep Massenburg but I'd take Outlaw over Marks.
To those who read, I said that Troy Bell was going to be the flop of last year's first round (along with Dahntay Jones). Can you believe West waisted a number 16 and a number 20 pick on those two scrubs? There were a number of quality picks still left on the board.
Id sign Bo Outlaw in a new york minute.
Cut whoever to make it work.
Bo Outlaw would be great to be the 12th man.
Sean Marks gets hurt reading the paper in the morning, cut him and grab Bo Outlaw. NOW.
Bo Outlaw. He will be right at home in SA. Didn't he grew up in East San Antonio?
He would make free-throws fun again.
Time to replace the Tall Black with a tall...er, um....nevermind.
But yes, sign him up.
Eh. Outlaw and Massenburg are the same type of player. Marks is a little bit of a project, but considering that we're talking about an end-of-the-bench player, I'd rather give Marks the opportunity to do something this season.
Outlaw > Rasho.
Bo grow up on the east side and still lives in SA during the offseason.
East side? Dude went to John Jay on the Southwest side.
Um.. dude grew up on the East side.
I went to middle school with him at Anson Jones.
He played exactly the same way in 7th grade. He couldn't shoot unless he was laying it up.
Anson Jones and John Jay are on the Southwest side. Marbach and Pinn Rd. Just because he is a brotha doesn't mean he lived on the East side.
Or maybe the fact in an interview last season during the playoffs against Memphis he stated himself that he grew up in the eastside and that the Eastside is alot like Chicago's Southside but it doesn't have the same reputation. He also stated he lives in San Antonio with his Mom in the offseason.Anson Jones and John Jay are on the Southwest side. Marbach and Pinn Rd. Just because he is a brotha doesn't mean he lived on the East side.
Bo grew up in the Jay area but he has a grip of family that lives on the east side. I used to go and watch them play when they went to state, only to see them get slapped by duncanville in the Final. I think it was Ostertag who got about 50 on him. But anyways I'm goin with my fellow alumni, sign him up quick. He's a great fit.....work horse on the defensive end, strong rebounder and a bad free throw shooter.....I mean what more could Pop ask for. Go Mustangs!!!!
i gott drop him off my fantsy team now
Boy, he'd really get hurt if he read he was getting cut in the morning paper.
Hey, how can I go back and edit the thread subject from "Grilz" to "Griz"?
Keeping Humphries over Outlaw is insanity. West is losing it -- he just threw away a prime trading chip.
Between the three of them, none of them have really done much. Outlaw has better defensive numbers on a per minute basis than both Marks and Massenburg and his hustle and heart have rarely been questioned. He does however have his infamously atrocious free throw percentage. But of course, Mass and Marks aren't too hot from behind the line either. Marks has his height advantage but he hasn't gotten the chance to prove if he can stay healthy enough to make it onto the court. He also has the advantage of having worked in the Spurs system for the past year. If it wasn't for his durability concerns, this would be a no brainer. At this stage of the game, I think Outlaw is a good fit for the Spurs but I think they consider Massenburg to the the enforcer they need in the post and feel that they've made a commitment to Marks that should not be undone. Love it or hate it, barring some type of undeniable upgrade in the frontcourt rotation that falls in the Spurs lap, our big man rotation is set.
Outlaw plays either Forward position and actually defends a lot of opposing 3s. He's more of a SF without the shooting from the wing that most teams like to have.
He is that "Long 3" (without the shot) that we all were calling for when the Spurs picked up LJ3. Bo Outlaw is a terrific defender and he would add one dimension that the Spurs have never really had since the likes of Alvin Robertson...someone who can effectively press. He creates tremendous havoc pressuring the ball, particularly in the backcourt behind the timeline, and his long arms and perpetual tenacity would be a tremendous asset when the Spurs need to change the face of the game.
He'll have to clear waivers but I'll bet you a v-dollar to a v-donut that Pop is thinking hard about Bo.
I agree. You think that at the end of a game, needing a stop, Pop wouldn't love to have the option of having both Bo and Bruce out on the court?
Yeah I heard that too. The east side is where all the ballas are at.
Bo would be a perfect addition to our defensive-minded club. With him, Bowen and Linton Johnson III, Pop would have multiple matchup options for shutting down opposing 2's, 3's and 4's. His offensive liabilities wouldn't be an issue.
