A couple of thoughts.

1) No one should pay any attention to anything Klay says. Just pay attention to if he getting open for a 3, otherwise ignore him.

2) I think the Grizz kinda started it regarding any trolling?

For as long as Dillon Brooks is a significant part of the offense, yeah.

Replace him with a really high level 2 way wing and cut down on some of the antics and silliness though and no you’re not doomed. This is a young team and you still have all your draft picks to use in a trade to improve the team. Don’t give up yet.

I'm not sure how likable or reliable Morant can be given the news. That's a real issue since they are building the team around him.

Ja Morant isn't hated. People love Ja.

I love Ja.

Getting into fights and threatening people is typical 20 something year old risk taking male crap. These are athletes, not scholars.

Ja is just outside too much.

Lol, if you gave me fame and money at 20 something...I would be for the same thing.

Ja plays on the edge, he gonna live on the edge. He'll calm down as he gets older and takes some lumps.

Memphis is just a team that doesn't look like where they are. Why?. Because you have an actual Nba that doesn't make sense. There's not structure and seriousness and with the years a worst level simple style to play this game. 15 years ago for example this team would be the 11-12 team of the conference a young roster with a rising star without experience trying to make sound and go to the playoffs. Like for example Okc was with Durant, Westbrook and those or the Bulls of D.Rose. But they are second of the Western conference playing a basketball that years ago wouldn't be close to have any aspirations of a Championship. Like Memphis 10 years ago. They didn't have the enough talent but that was a roster made to be tough to beat having experience a real structure with players with experience at the biggest level and a good poised style of play. Now most of those teams lack of this for one thing or another. That's why GSW won the ring last year or Lebron is playing at 38 years old like better than the 99% of the league.


Apart that look like they are a bunch of kids with his insecurities trying to look hard and convincing themselves that they can win the championship.

The other day I was watching Sacramento for the first time versus the Clippers and all I think watching them is. This is a team that always was those that fight hard stay in the games without anything real good and they always at the end lose and with the season advancing they demoralize themselve in to the bottom of the league. More looking at his style without any defense and his better players trying for themselves only for talent without any structure of play. But they are 3rd.

At the end you have that any who can do something serious with consistency and a structure they can win.

If the opposing team buys Shannon Sharpe tickets to sit behind the Grizz bench for every playoff game, they're definitely doomed.

Need a culture reset in the locker room. Bring someone into the organization to provide leadership.

Probably in the same way that the Celts once offered 4 FRPs to the Hornets for the pick they used on Frank Kaminsky. Heavily protected, with some almost sure to convey into 2nd rounders.

Yes...doomed.

But the reason is your star plays very similar to a young Westbrook. Much better shooter but still that same kind of one on one solo hero stuff.

Ja is the next Westbrook and you arn't winning the title with him as the number one dude.

Of course anyone saying we were gonna spank GS is simply uninformed or just delusional but who cares about those old GnG teams? They were fun but couldn’t get the job done. This team has a chance to in the next few years. Don’t worry about what anybody thinks

Big ego but low selfesteem. Known many of them. Sooner or later that will get them into something they cant handle. Might very well miss several years because of something stupid, jail or goes onto the wrong guy and misses significant time because of injuries.

No1 rule is that u dont pick fights with guys u dont know, sooner or later u pick the wrong guy
