@daldridgetntSource says Bobcats declined to match Grizzlies' 3 yr/$6.3M offer sheet for Dante Cunningham. MEM needs depth after losing D Arthur for year

Here's hoping Cunningham can give the team a solid 15-20 MPG.

All he has to do to succeed here is hit the open 12-15 jumper at a decent clip and play average on the defensive end IMO.

I think his game blends well with what the Grizz have going. Now all the Grizz need is a backup 5.

I hope he's prepared to play big minutes, or that we're prepared to play healthy doses of small ball.

Hollins has to keep Randolph and Gasol well rested during this grueling schedule.

You won't have much to complain about with Cunningham. Very solid, good shooter and doesn't make many mistakes. Valuable bench player for any side.

Only down size is that he is a little small for a 4 I guess. We played him at the 3 a lot, although Portland always had him at Pf.

Like the signing, but we really need a backup C still.

Like the signing for you guys. I was always a fan of him and he capable of playing major minutes.
