It's a bit rich for 3J. I can understand why they did it. Almost 50M a season. I wonder how close they are to the second apron after today. Santi is on a decent deal. 17.5M a season.

Grade: A. Player option on JJJ only thing not to love.

Obviously 3J will pick up that player option in the next few years.

What are your thoughts on Ty Jerome?

I like him in the same role he had last year with the Cavs. Sixth man, spot starter. Maybe get gets a little more playing time early while we sort out our young players, but likely settles into a 22 minute role.

I would have rather had no player option, JJJ will not pick up that option year unless he gets hurt or play diminishes.

That part of getting hurt is part of 3J's history. I hope he can maintain his durability and learns to be more consistent throughout the season including the playoffs.

As to Ty Jerome, I will admit, not a fan of his. He suitable in the role he has carved out for himself over the seasons. So as long he keeping his part of the offense going from the bench, it helps the Grizzlies offensively.

I do hope we didn't promise him a starter role to get him to sign. But with Ja likely to continue to miss 15+ games a year we really needed another trusted guy in our backcourt. Still hoping VWill is that guy but we cannot bank on that. 3 years on low money is not really much of risk. If he duplicates last year it is a very good contract, if he gets beat out by a young player then so be it.

On VW, I can't help but get the feeling he will likely be moved sometime this offseason. It will depend on the minutes and roster flexibility. Another person I think will be moved(probably later) is Brandon Clarke. What will the Grizzlies look for back in return I think will be flexibility and maybe a more useful player on the roster.

VWill might have a small window to start the season to win some minutes, but if he doesn't seize the moment than anything is possible. But we won't get any value for him at that point and we really don't get any flexibility either since next season is already a team option. Likely want to hold Clarke and hope he looks good while Edey is out, but we likely want to reallocate his money now that Aldama is back on a bigger deal.

I would like to see VWill recapture what lead him to become a mainstay on the roster in the first place. He fought like hell to get to the main roster for a minute. I understand that he missed time and training camp due to injury. Now that he's been healthy for a few months now, I hope he's doing his due diligence on working on his game to gain more opportunities with the team. For his sake.


As for Clarke, He's the likely candidate to be traded to your point with the Aldama signing. Plus with Edey being out for the next few months, he'll remain a Grizzly for the time being.

From my viewpoint, we were short a big last year - particularly as JJJ and Santi play more like large wings rather than true bigs. With the Edey news, it seemed critical to me that we add a true big to the roster. Given the moves that we've made, it seems the front office either doesn't share my assessment or we will be dumpster diving for bigs on minimums or potentially a two-way for a summer leaguer now that Spencer got a true contract.

Likley Bags comes back on a camp deal to try to win the last spot...but bumping up Clarke's minutes 6-8 minutes early season is fine too. Maybe precious comes for the min now that NY got Yabs.

My apologies. I can see where I wasn't clear. I think we need an NBA-quality big - not just a guy who happens to be big.

Fair point

[VCfor3]

I saw an idea of Konchar for Goga that I liked to add a cheap youngish big. Would help give us a little bit of depth while we ride out the injuries to start the season. Al Horford would be a huge pickup for us, but I don't see a way to get that done.

I love the Ty Jerome signing since he will in essence replace Luke but be a more willing shooter and hopefully help a bit more with playmaking. I can't see him being a starter unless we have injuries, but as a bench role player I'm pumped.

With Biberovic deciding to stay in Turkiye, our offseason seems to be over. We just need to finalize the Cole Antony buyout.

Ja - Ty - Vince
KCP - Pippen - Spencer
Wells - Cedric - Konchar
JJJ - Aldama - GG
Edey - Clarke - Landale

2 way: Small, Mashack

We didn't have a spot for him or a way to pay more than the min. I wonder if he would have come over if we could have moved Konchar.

But I agree that seems to be the roster heading into the season.

[esvl]

I wonder how much money we can spend if the rumours about the Konchar buyout are true?

I don't think that is happening now. Likely we were just floating that idea to try to get Cole to give up more money in a buyout or face being stuck as a deep reserve on our bench if we move on from Konchar instead.

Now I could see us trading Konchar/Cash/2nds for some dead expiring to waive and open a roster spot for a 4/5.
