@parkervb901 If you tell me anyone in the west 2-7 wins or loses their first round series, I won’t be shocked. OKC is winning their first round but the other 3 series can be coin flips depending on what the matchup is in my opinion. Just need a healthy/motivated Grizz

@PAKA_FLOCKA The rebounding effort has been great to see, too. Him and Vince making that a priority is going to help because JJJ roaming to contest shots limits his chances on the boards

Not being able to challenge who is in the jump ball in reality trying to get the clear foul called via the proximal foul rule is ridiculous. #GrindCity

@GrizzUnis Playoff matchups are going to matter more than seeding. 1-8 are all going to be good teams. OKC is probably a step ahead but anyone winning any series wouldn’t shock me at all

@JoeMullinax @DamichaelC I think any team with a legit 5 (OKC, Denver) a concern until we see more Edey development and/or trust from Jenkins. Houston, Dallas, Clippers and Kings all have bigs who have created problems for Memphis too. All 4 of the west matchups in round 1 should be interesting though

@DrftAndStash @chriman_ Feels a lot more like 2010s OKC v Memphis to me. Memphis got desperate and went all in on Parsons which ended their dynasty. OKC ended up falling apart sooner than expected but Memphis was already doomed with the Parsons move

@DrftAndStash @chriman_ Not if, when he gets back. Because if he isn’t - it doesn’t matter if Memphis got Cam or anyone else

@DrftAndStash @chriman_ 3 firsts for a guy who walks this summer isn’t good. I get it. I wanted a splash. If the reports are true and KD said no, Brooklyn wanted Vassell/Picks from Spurs - Memphis can’t do much on those fronts unless you wanted to send GG to Brooklyn. That’s all I’m getting at

@chriman_ @DrftAndStash I would have supported that for sure. And we don’t know what did/didn’t get offered. But Vassell/Atlanta picks is significantly better than Smart plus all the picks. That’s all I’m getting at. Brooklyn had HIGH value and I don’t think Memphis could get there without GG

@DrftAndStash @chriman_ That’s an anomaly that looks like a GM on a power trip. More equivalent to ZK trading Ja than trading for a 4th best player. If Vassell/2 firsts didn’t get Cam, Smart plus all the first isn’t getting him. KD said no. I wanted a splash, but what could he do different there?

@DrftAndStash @chriman_ KD said no to Memphis and Brooklyn reportedly wanted Vassell + 2 firsts from the Spurs (Atlanta’s?). Memphis will never appeal to KD/stars and didn’t have anything near Vassell + Atlanta picks to offer? I wanted a splash but this isn’t 2K where you can force the trade through

@parkervb901 I’m not criticizing Ja the player bc he is phenomenal and Memphis goes where he goes. It looked like he played harder the 2/3 possession after Tee got ejected than he did at any other point tonight. I would love to see him that energized/angry all game in these big games
