@SainAsylum My guess is with Ainge’s Boston connection, Simmons was doing him a favor and trying to lure Memphis into a trade.

[Nick @nickjames622]

@NathanChester24 I would do this before I “paid” a team with draft picks

[Nick @nickjames622]

@StatsSAC Why you should not take Yaxel. If you trade up for him, it will be as bad as the Marcus Smart trade. https://t.co/jJOhRMRPsK

[Dean Oliver @DeanO_Lytics]

These are the players since the 2000 Draft who were 23 years old or older

[Nick @nickjames622]

@JoeMullinax Firm believer that most role players don’t find their footing until years 3 to 5. So I wouldn’t give up on him But his ass would spend the majority of the year in the G league. He was far away from being a contributor

[Nick @nickjames622]

@TurkishBengal @JWeinbachNBA Wouldn’t trade a first for Murray either. Swapping out Ja. Herb has shot less than 31% from 3 the last two years

[Nick @nickjames622]

@StatsSAC Lendeborg may be good. But the history of guys his age being good says not worth the gamble. Anyone remember Knecht

[Nick @nickjames622]

@TurkishBengal @JWeinbachNBA Grizz are moving off Morant mainly bc he doesn’t play basketball. They’re not giving up a first for Herb when the last 2 years he hasn’t played basketball and forgot how to shoot. Herb is an awesome defender but if he can’t shoot, how is he any different than cheaper options

[Nick @nickjames622]

@TurkishBengal @JWeinbachNBA Memphis ain’t giving up a first to move off Morant. They’d keep him before that happens

[Nick @nickjames622]

@Tjonesonthenba 38.4/30.7/90.1 shooting splits on the season. Even worse in Memphis as it was 36.6/30.7/86.4 with zero defensive impact. He’s out of the league by the end of his rookie deal if he can’t figure out how to shoot.

[Nick @nickjames622]

@Tjonesonthenba As a Grizzlies fan, I’d lose my shit if they traded Pippen for a couple of seconds, especially for Clayton to be on the team. Pippen is a plus defender, a good 3 point shooter, and top notch backup. Clayton didn’t show enough to warrant a two way last year.

[Nick @nickjames622]

@ChrisHerrington Can you take a player into the trade exception as part of a sign and trade? Such as agreeing to terms with a player that would exceed all other mechanisms the Grizzlies have available but fit within the trade exception

[Nick @nickjames622]

@BillSimmons @maxkellerman Would require some other stuff to happen but Chet for Jaden McDaniels- who says no?

[Nick @nickjames622]

@JohnMartin929 Jalen Williams and five unprotected future firsts. “Massive overpay and we can talk” would be my position

[Nick @nickjames622]

@PAKA_FLOCKA Morez Johnson is my target. Could be a BC/ Naz Reid style combo big off the bench who is good enough to start but perfect off the bench.

[Nick @nickjames622]

@NathanChester24 If the team thinks he can go up to a 25 ppg guy as the number 1 option and keep the elite defense, he is easily worth the 3rd pick. Does he make sense for the Grizzlies? If they think his presence alone makes them a playoff team, then they should pull the trigger.

[Nick @nickjames622]

@bomani_jones The thing is you don’t retaliate against Hartenstein or Chet. You take out SGA. They come for your best and the refs let it slide, you come for their best. Only way to put an end to it.

[Nick @nickjames622]

@ChrisHerrington With the aim to add bigger, more athletic players, I’d call Orlando about Anthony Black. They can’t pay everyone. Who would be some reasonable players to target in trades to accomplish this goal?

[Nick @nickjames622]

@rozenwill True. But that’s not the issue. Ole Miss wants to make it out like Lane just abandoned them. They told him he couldn’t coach- with good reason. But it was their call and they need to own it.

[Nick @nickjames622]

@StatsSAC Agreed. My back up big goal is Rueben Chinyelu at 32. Versatile defender and great rebounder. Strong as hell. Perfect back up big
