There was a r/hypothetical post a few days ago that said something like “would you accept a million dollars if that meant the person you hate most also gets a million dollars?”

At the time I wasn’t sure if I had a person I hated more than anyone else but then last night reminded me that it’s Draymond Green.

I don’t like klay, but wtf is ja doing? He is one of the most unlikable players in the league. Becoming harder and harder to watch Memphis. MY ONLY SOURCE OF HAPPINESS IS CEDRIC COWARD! Ja doesn’t play and when he does he is terrible, he has constantly been in off court drama. He isn’t a victim of the Adam silver, he just needs to grow up. I love JJJ but bloody jock landal is out playing him!!! We will not be any good with ja who is getting less and less athletic and as a result will only get worse and worse over the next few years. Aldama disappointed me tonight tripping cooper.

Like ik he’s done some real dumb shit but most guys in their early 20s do especially ones given tht much money that early. But holy shit man for the last 3 years it feels like the media has wanted him to walk off the earth. Granted he hasn’t done himself favors with some of his habits but Jesus

Does anybody on this team actually give a toss about winning this?

Both teams played hard until the very end and it was a fun game, so why be a sore winner? I could never picture Cam or Ced saying anything even remotely like this. Confidence and pride can be great attributes, but this is just off-putting.

I was just praising him for his great play and for playing so deep into the summer league, too. And the audacity to even bring up Cam getting a favorable whistle after this game…? Sure, man.

I already know he is going to average 30 and play at least 70 games. I really wish it could’ve worked out but I know it was time to move on. WE yes WE will all miss 12

This week’s discussion topic thanks to u/russell_has_two_Ls

We have witnessed 3 preseason games with the new look Grizzlies. While we’ve barely seen the starters in the second half, I think we have a decent idea of what we can expect from our primary and secondary rotations.

Boozer looking more league ready than many expected. Edey looking slimmer and more athletic as he shakes off the rust. GG making people wonder if he’s 6 man material or deserving of starter minutes. Jerome running around like he can get buckets on demand.

But there’s still 2 guys to cut, Beef Stew with a question mark on his recovery, and 10 days to regular season.

Is this TI’s year to prove his vision? What does the roster lack? What’s the ceiling this year? Who would you cut? What kind of growth do you need to see this season?

I dunno, that’s for you to yap about here…

It’s here! Grizzlies basketball returns at the totally convenient time of 6 PM CST(7pm est) Monday along with a new era.

In this week’s poll y’all chose the pinned discussion post topic to be dropping hot takes for the upcoming season/era. This will also allow us all to take receipts that I’ll repost in April to determine who grizzlies the hardest.

If you don’t wanna drop any takes the pinned discussion post is also a place to yap about whatever you want as the week goes by and developments occur for our intrepid group of baby bears.

A lot of people have been coming out of the woodworks lately (and especially tonight) to shit on Edey.

He worked his ass off tonight, even if he didn't score at a high clip. For his first playoff game, he really made an impact with a double double. He's got so much left to learn in this league, and he's only going to get better from here. One performance in your rookie year should never define you.

And who knows? We got one more chance here Friday to sneak into the playoffs. See you then.

It’s 6:30am in Sydney rn I HAVE NEVER SET FOOT IN MEMPHIS iv spent that last four years supporting this franchise watch every single game AND GOT NOTHING OUT OF IT BUT PAIN, the team I fell in love with is no more. Is there even any point in me going through all this 💔

I want to gauge the community on Ty Jerome.

I see a lot of media types are extremely low on him and consider him trade bait and a short term rental.

However, his stats have been solid and he passes the eye test for me.

I don't see a downside of keeping him? Historically we don't get marquee free agents. All the talk about 'timelines' also seems ridiculous. We have been a first round exit/lotto team for years. With the new lotto system there's no reason we won't try to be competitive. I don't see any reason to not be on board with Ty!

Always wanted to know the answer to this considering it was such a major geographical shift for a young team, to not only go to a different location but a different country. And considering all the disgruntlement Seattle fans still have towards OKC, was/is it the same for OG Vancouver fans, or did they bail for the Raptors?

While Memphis may not be equipped with the most luxurious hotels for the 41 year old Lebron 🙄, he’s just wrong about his belief that Nashville is a better market. Nashville has a significantly smaller audience than Memphis. Basketball has shaped culture in Memphis, whereas nashville is a land of gentrification and transplants from Cali. Lebrons never been to Memphis. His judgement is purely from the stereotypes about crime and his once a year trip to the Hyatt. I along with many people believe that Lebron is not only wrong about Memphis’s bleakness, but also its inferiority to Nashville as a market.

We just spent four days in this subreddit calling Steve Kerr and all the Warriors fans online pathetic. We said that they were being stupid because they were turning Dillon Brooks into a villain when he just made a reckless play that led to an unfortunate injury. And we were right. It was pathetic.

And it’s pathetic if you do it now, too.

Anyone who has played basketball understands that your body sometimes does things that it does not mean to do. You accidentally run into guys. Somebody steps on your ankle. You bang another guy’s knee. You make a play for the ball and run into somebody. That is all that Jordan Poole was doing. It does not take even a careful eye to see that that’s what happened. It was obvious right away.

You are free to say whatever you want. But just know that people are going to think you’re pathetic if you start whining after everything that happened this week. That you’re sinking to the level of the NBA’s worst fan base. And they’ll be right.

We lost by 30. It was discouraging but it was just one game. Allow yourself to feel upset, act normal online, and then hope for a bounce back on Monday. Anything else just reflects poorly on the rest of us.

EDIT: As expected, the brigadiers have made their way into this sub. Regardless of whether you agree with my post, please do us all a favor and hand them your juiciest, center cut downvotes.

title is very clear. he’s the last one left Get ready to say goodbye.

As the Memphis Grizzlies you do not trade a player like Ja. Ja’s value to the team goes way beyond basketball performance. I live in Detroit. I go to the courts to hoop. EVERY SINGLE KID is wearing Ja shoes, every single one, in DETROIT!!! As the Memphis Grizzlies, you don’t trade a player with that kind of reach. You as the Memphis Grizzlies may never get a player with that kind of reach ever again! I get this sentiment if you’re a team like the heat or the mavericks or even like the nuggets or something, but as the Memphis grizzlies, you don’t fucking do that. I hope Ja can get back to his usual self and contribute to winning at the level we know that he can and if he can’t then I hope we can find a way to restructure his role accordingly but he absolutely must remain a Memphis Grizzly until I go to the courts and see kids wearing some other player’s shoe…

That Lakers series was a horrible showing and he had to go but obviously he grew as a player away from here and that’s ok.

the jazz seem like a good matchup for us. they have a really strong offense but almost no defense. this could easily be a blowout but edey might feast and keep us in it. i just feel like these two teams are linked since the jaren trade with us beginning the rebuild and them ending theirs.

Can we all agree that we’d rather have Ja than an expiring contract and a non-rotation level player?
