Grizzlies Interested In Signing Veteran Center 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Nov 8, 2018 2:45 pm

The Memphis Grizzlies are pursuing a veteran center.


Memphis recently created a roster spot by releasing Andrew Harrison.


The Grizzlies are thin at center behind Marc Gasol on their depth chart.

It's time for return of Beans.

Andris Biedrins come out. :lol:
Celtics fan. :crazy:
We also face the Kings twice in the near future. I think it's time Yabu pays back some of that free money he's been given his entire career and bounces Fox for a nice 2 week ankle sprain.

Mavs aren’t going anywhere. Deandre Jordan for a top 5 protected first and Chandler Parsons.

If there was a first round pick available for Robin Lopez he'd have been traded already.

Yeah there's a 0% chance Lopez returns a 1st. Probably not more than one 2nd either.

You're really gonna get DJ for him to back up Gasol on a team that is also going nowhere?
