Ayton, Jackson, and Bamba all in this draft and they have the Cavs ending up with....Trae Young? :stopitslime:

I can't see Lebron staying to play with that team if they draft anyone other than those three, unless the GM makes some major moves.

Nets have already played themselves out of a high lotto spot, as I kept saying they would. Now cavs just gotta pray for a lucky ball in the top 3.





shyt looks like a baseball in his hands:why:

15 points and the L :troll:
Hey man that wasn't cool.
Y'all supposed to be tanking, and we needed this W.
This was supposed to be a symbiotic agreement.

Marshon Brooks fukked everything up. Now y'all can't afford to win another game, because the Suns have the edge over y'all, with the magic right behind. :ufdup:

Back to the point, why was Wade Baldwin waived, when duke could play. Breh could have easily taken over the game at one point, but this was the first shot he was given, so duke was being unselfish and passed up some open looks, where he clearly had the advantage.

Forgive our insolence, for these young Grizz players do not know what they're doing by winning :mjcry:


Answer to your question is that we waived Baldwin in order to make room for....Mario Chalmers. There was a three-way competition for the PG spot in the offseason and the guy left out of the rotation would be waived. Not that I think he would've helped the Grizzlies this year, but I find it hard to believe he would've been as bad as Chalmers has. One of the many blunders this front office has committed.

It's almost as bad as signing a guy to a 10 day that's hungry to prove he belongs in the league, when we need all the losses we can get :snoop:

Good shyt I thought he was garbage. :salute:
He could have really been developing this year too. :smh:

We'll make use of him because he actually looks like he's 6'4, we need that shyt against taller teams.....

We play y'all again on sunday, and I fully expect y'all to take an L.....
