Any News? 

Post#1 » by PPAW4Life » Sun Jul 13, 2008 4:29 pm

Any news on my guy Antoine Walker?

Has he said anything about Memphis's fried chicken or if he is excited about playing for the Grizzlies?

Seriously, does any Grizz fan have any information on what the Grizzlies have planned for Walker and his salary? Is he gonna be cut? Is he gonna actually play for ya'll?

i imagine he will be cut at the start of the season, unless the Grizz find some gas left in that tank.

Are the Grizzlies going to stick with Gay at PF or are they grooming Arthur for that power 4 spot?

Honestly a Gay, Gasol, Warrick front court is pretty good IMO.

But if you guys plan on Arthur at the 4 and Gay at the 3 with Warrick off the bench....then don't straight up give the starting job to Arthur. Let that spot be open for any takers in training camp and see if Toine has gas left or if Arthur can out play him for that spot.

Competition breeds good things.

Toine is supposed to be staying with the Grizz for the time being according to local sports radio stations. Gay, Warrick, and Gasol 2.0 to make a good frontcourt, outside of Gay and Warrick, despite their offense, Rudy has more improvements to make defensively and Warrick is simply a liability on defense. Plus Warrick is better suited off the bench. Gasol hasn't played a NBA game yet so the ruling is out on how he will be able to adjust to the speed and toughness of the game itself. As for who will really get the PF spot, I wil say that's yet to be determine since the team still have some trading to do.
