Laws days in Memphis are numbered?

Post #1 » by **jman3134** » Thu Nov 18, 2010 3:41 am

The Grizzlies are expected to soon have free-agent guards Patrick Beverley and Garrett Temple in for a workout.

The workouts could be a bad sign for Acie Law, who is playing under a non-guaranteed contract that allows Memphis to waive him by Dec. 8 without any obligations.

My initial reaction is that Law may be a better option than Temple. However, I am intrigued by Patrick Beverley. It would be interesting to see how he would fit on our roster.

If there is a financial component that will save a dime for the organization than he should keep his bags packed. He can't complain as he was given more of a chance to prove himself, which is so surprising he could not take advantage of an ideal situation.

Tillery summed it up pretty well this morning. He said (in a nutshell) that all Law had to do was prove himself better than a rookie coming off ankle surgery that missed all of training camp, and he couldn't even do that.

Additionally, Ron also added (and I wholly agree) that the last thing the Grizz need is another 6'1" - 6'6" player. They need another 6'"8 - 6'11" wing/strech 4 type that can effectively spell Rudy and fill in for Randolph/Arthur and/or be a change of pace guy.

Finally.

Get a damn veteran back up though.

I keep saying it, but there is nothing wrong with this guy.

I hoped he could stay in the rotation somewhere... now I may have to call him Acie Low.

Acie Law stinks like a poopy diaper. He's like the Thabeet of guards (but with none of the "potential"). Marcus Williams looked like an all-star compared to Law.

Why don't we bring him back then?

Because Marcus isn't a real step up either. The Grizz either need to let GV learn on the job or get a true upgrade at the point. Personally I'm in favor or letting GV, Tony and OJ get whatever extra minutes at the point and let the front office go after a stretch 4 to fill Law's slot.

I'd be perfectly fine with them giving him a shot.

If we let Mayo play point guard, I might literally pound my head into a wall. He was dreadful in summer league, so how is this going to work during the regular NBA season?

Law waived :wave:

Yep, it's finally official. This guy needs to really work on his game to get back in the league.
