Grizzlies really love playing down to their competition.

Is Marc a max player??? ill probably sign him anyways couse of the new salary cap in a few years, BUT if the knicks really want him i would look for a sign and trade for their pick if he keep playing this way. I dont like players (less if they re max) who plays when they want. I hate Westbrook but a lot of players can learn something from him.
Nice to see Green-2 playing some minutes.

I still belive we can do it with this team, we just need better plays and move more with and without the ball, basically play basketball. Now i want to play for zbo, and green... and see what happens (Marc dont want to be THAT guy), but still we need Marc´s all around game to do it.

BELIVE
Go Grizz!

That's the problem, we are going to have to pay him the Max when he is just not worth it. If you look at his box score for the fourth quarter it is absolutely ridiculous. 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 shots, in 7 minutes - WTF

20 million a yr simply because he is going to market at the right time. I know it is a long season, so it is hard to be engaged for 82 games but come on, that was sad.

I no longer expect Marc to be our 1st option on offense, I see him as a very good 3rd alternative. Next year (15/16) probably become a max player (overrated) but in the next season (16/17) the salary cap raises and i hope his salary became more real.

I really wonder if the guys are extremely tired since coming back from all-star break or have the guys become complacent and are coasting at this point.

They're just playing sloppy again. I don't think think it has anything to do with fatigue since they had similar games (effort-wise) at the start of the season. I only watched most of the first half against boston, but damn, that was one sad performance.

Btw vince clearly isn't ready yet, why the hell is he playing already? He can barely move his feet on defense, giving up open shots and having to switch on literally everything resulting in mismatches. I wonder if the medical staff has done anything at all besides shooting him up with cortisone. They should give jordan adams a chance instead and force the dinosaur to do what's necessary, whether that's surgery, physical therapy or simple recovery.

With that said i'm definitely tuning in tonight. With conley, zbo, gasol and allen sitting out we might actually get to see jordan adams and maybe even some jarnell stokes. Or maybe vince was just faking out the entire nba with his performance yesterday (and pretty much all year really) and will come out in full force for a vintage 50 point game, with some dunks over gortat/nene and the gamewinning fadeaway over pierce. :pray:

Given the expected rise in the Salary Cap for 2016-17 would it be prudent for Marc to take a one year deal and hit the market again next year? With the new info, Kevin Love may opt in, Jeff Green may also do the same, and the rest who have an option this year as it makes financial sense. Kevin Durant will be in a pretty good position and so will Lebron.
