If you’re gonna compare last season’s healthy roster with our roster goin into this season, you have to view Vince, GG, and Scottie as new additions because they weren’t part of the team’s plans but now they are. Plus they had a better chance to develop their game and confidence. It seems like we did nothing in the off-season because last season was basically an extension of this offseason.
Nothing about the grizzlies off season moves would suggest this team is in win now mode.
The reality of the new salary cap rules is that most teams paying 2 or more max contracts will struggle to maintain a decent roster around those guys. I suspect more & more you'll see top players do what Brunson did & take $100 m less than he could have so they could pay the other guys some & keep the team together.
I am no expert about these things at all, but when I consider just how small of market we are, l never expect us to make a big splash in free agency. So I would give the Grizzlies off season a B-. Although we might take a hit with experience and on defense.. offensively we are more talented now. Adams, Melton, Tillman, Tyus, Zaire and Brooks were mostly defenders and mostly brick shooters from behind the arc. That's was just not going to be enough to win a chip.
I agree that this off season wasn't good in terms of moves made. I'm high on the Grizzlies because I believe in the pieces around the core more than the one before. For now, they inspire confidence in me more than the others. Smart more than Dillon, Edey more than Adams. Vince more than Anderson. Kennard. GG and the rockies' potential looks great
I find it funny how everyone wants to spend the owners' money 😂
Why on earth would grizzlies use assets to move up in the draft? For Shepherd? For another center who was OWNED by our 9th pick when they played head to head? Not a fan of giving up everything to get some "star" that another team is trying to dump. I can't wait to see the team if we stay healthy, and if that happens, many people, including apparently you, I think are going to be changing your tune. Let's play the games, go grizzlies.
