Comparable to Daniel Gafford, Aaron Gordon and Kyle Anderson. Much better than his 215-225 ish frame from previous seasons. Hope it translates to more physical play this year.

I think it’s an appropriate time to rehash a question that was posted a few months back that could have major implications for our offseason trade and drafting strategy:

If Hasheem Thabeet was 11ft10in and we brought him back, would the Grizzlies make the WCF next season?

most you trade picks/players wise for capela

I know it’s anybody’s guess as to what’s going to happen this offseason, and by all means if we need to trade Smart to get a high quality Center I think we should. However, my mind keeps going back to that game we played against the Celtics in November, no Ja, no Smart, GG wasn’t with the team yet, Biyombo was our center, Ziaire was playing over 20 minutes, you get the picture. We lost by 2. I remember hearing Santi say that Smart was in the locker room coaching our team through how to beat the Celtics for like an hour.

Now I know it’s a 1 game sample, and we’ve actually gotta make the finals to see the Celtics, if that happens, I really think Smart could be a huge asset to us beating them simply for his insight into how they play. Anyways, just hadn’t seen anyone bring up that point. Thoughts?

Apparently, smart is not following the Grizzlies, ja, jaren and bane in IG now but still following the Celtics 👀

Do you think the front office is set on keeping smart, or do you think he could a be an easy trade piece like many online suggest?

Personally it sounded like klienman had dreamed of landing him for a while. Pair that with the difficulty we have trading and landing free agents and it makes me believe he would be one of the absolute last pieces we move on. Of course Ja Bane and JJJ above him but I imaging the untouchable list starts with Vince GG them smart.

What do you think and what is your reasoning?

What do you think about the central position? Do I need someone to help JJJ? (obviously needed). Who is the most ideal option for this position for our team, whether it is a free agent, a player from the draft or a trade? Maybe Valanciunas or Claxton, who become free agents?

I’m so emotional still. I love the Celtics since birth and fell in love with the Grizz years ago. To see my Celtics win a chip is fucking nuts and I’m so glad X came in with that fucking dawg mentality only Memphis can teach when we needed him.

God I hope to see the Grizz clutching the Larry O’.

Celtics receive:

Kristaps Porzingis (via Wizards)

No. 25 pick in 2023 Draft (via Grizzlies)

2024 first-round pick (top-four protected, via Warriors)

Grizzlies receive:

Marcus Smart (via Celtics)

Wizards receive:

Tyus Jones (via Grizzlies)

Danilo Gallinari (via Celtics)

Mike Muscala (via Celtics)

No. 35 pick in 2023 Draft (via Celtics)

I can't help but feel that Boston absolutely fleeced us and Washington in this deal, which helped them both acquire Holiday and ultimately win the title. Porzingis was the best player in the deal, and they received the two 1st Round Picks.

I also can't help but wonder if we could have just made a trade with Washington for Porzingis ourselves. I think we would have needed to add more salary to make the trade work, but I wouldn't mind having Porzingis moving forward.

I think most fans have always known this. But in this timeline, we show up like 10 times. Surprisedly no absolute disaster trades, though the Jeff Green one still leaves a bad taste. And no absolute winner trades either besides maybe the Smart (since that let them get Holiday?).

BIG M ON TOP NEXT SEASON

Boston just keeping the trophy warm for the Grizz

Dude nailed it just like X nailed the shot!

If they could get Nick for Ziaire and/or Konchar and whatever compensation like a 2nd rd pick, that would be a huge win. He is 7' in shoes and listed at 245 lbs. He is an active screener, decently mobile, good at positioning with fluid coordination. He played 65+ games the last 2 years. He is slow in the PNR but has some vertical pop. Below are per 24 min stats over his career compared to others:

9.6 PTS, 7.4 REB (2.5 OREB), 1.6 BLK, .661 FG%, .736 FT% NICK RICHARDS (4yr career, 26 yrs old)

8.3 PTS, 7.4 REB (3.3 OREB), 0.9 BLK, .587 FG%, .536 FT% STEVEN ADAMS

12.1 PTS, 6.3 REB (2.0 OREB), 1 BLK, .603 FG%, .697 FT% BRANDON CLARKE

8.3 PTS, 5.7 REB (2.0 OREB), 0.7 BLK, .582 FG%, .574 FT% XAVIER TILLMAN

Would be part of a larger Houston trade but would Memphis agree?

Hey idk if I'm allowed to post this in here but whatever,

I wanna get one of these practice tees for the gym and stuff, but they only seem to sell youth ones. I can order it from the US store but the shipping cost is like $40. prepared to pay that if I HAVE to but does anyone know another place where I can just get a tee like this? i really dig the look. i'm in the UK
