Ja is significantly better than all 3 of them. It'll just be easy dump offs for him like he got with Russ. Couldn't get those in New Orleans since Lonzo can't dribble and is allergic to the paint. Will have more room to operate in there too since JJJ will be on the perimeter a bit more than Zeeon was.

Probably ends up giving you like 14 and 8 a game or something like that. I'm not saying he's some force or anything like that, and I do think he's a downgrade from Valancunias, but he'll play his role decently.
I got $150 Adams will average less than 22 combined pts+reb
 
For sure. My main point is I just don't think you're completely dropping off a cliff going from Valancunias to Adams. Then factor in that they must really value someone they can get at 10 as opposed to 17. Moody would be it for me. 40th pick can probably get them a decent prospect too. Draft is pretty deep to like 45 or so.

Your dropping of a cliff paying him 35 mill when he’s a averaging javale McGee numbers with worse defense

i get that but you could play through kelce. Mempis was a middle of the pack offense already. Adams doesn’t help that at all. Can’t blame JJJ missing games either because they were bottom 3rd when he played.

trade really looks funny if you take giddey

Nah. I ultimately think they are going to keep trying to develop Tillman and Clarke more. Play JJJ at the 5 some too. Valancunias was an expiring anyways.

If they wanted to force feed Adams minutes, he could put up numbers. Just don't see it happening.

This is somewhat why I think Giddey is not the pick.

All of the prospects for the most part we've interviewed or worked out were guys like Murphy, Grimes, Jaygup, then talk about the higher end players in Bouk, Moody, etc. It would seem more of a Chris Wallace move instead of Kleiman to not address our weaknesses (shooting, a creating wing, etc).

Grizz have an elite defense, its time to get that offense right. Look out for Jaygup or Grimes on that 40th pick unless we move up or trade it again. Maybe even Vrenz

Are you delusional ???? Guy can’t score can’t play defense can’t block nothing javale McGee is better and 15 mill cheaper
 
Now that big bad Adams and Bledsoe are gone, "The Young Core" should have zero excuses, correct? Since it was all their fault?

Let see I complained about the coach last year where’s Stan at ???????. Lonzo been playing pg his whole life u put him at sg. I complained about adams and Bledsoe where they at . I don’t see how someone in their right mind can argue this . All three vets had basically career low numbers jj reddick adams and Bledsoe all three who can’t play defense and can’t score got shipped . But the young core who averaged career high numbers while moving Lonzo to sg top 12 in made threes in the nba made is the problem . Numbers don’t lie they got paid the most did the least past their prime with a horrible coach
 
adams and bledsoe don’t matter

grizzlies still see themselves as developing and rebuilding from the gasol era so why not continue to add young talent to the core knowing they not getting FA’s

If Ja was entering his mid-late 20’s and had a contract coming up then yeah it’s a bad time to be doing that, but that is not the case

Losing Jonas makes them worse in the short run, but I won’t be surprised if they get another gem in the draft.

All the while their young guns make another leap.

Right Val was their best player a lot of nights.

You’re making JJJ a bigger piece of the picture when up to this point he’s either been fouling or injured.

He has a ways to go so they already needed another bucket before this move, now they REALLY need it. Draft is deep enough where you could’ve stayed at 17.

But if they really like a guy in that 10 range you gotta give their scouts + FO the benefit of the doubt.
 
Initially trade looked funny to me for the Grizz. But Bledsoe not staying is good. Their FO has honestly done a pretty damn good job scouting talent too, so they gotta have something planned for that pick they're high on.
 


gotta trade him he’s cooked
