TA Coming Back 

Post#1 » by PAGrizzFan » Wed Jul 3, 2013 3:23 am

Chris Vernon ‏@ChrisVernonShow 2m
Tony Allen is signing 4 yr 20 million contract with Grizzlies. Just talked to him.

Definitely little surprised by the years, but he is heart of team. Now have 3-4 left for a shooter.

Excellent news. Would have hated to lose TA as he is the very soul of our team.

$5 million per year is about right for him too after consecutive all defense first team selections and finishing in the top 5 for DPOY over the last two years as well.

I reckon he could have got more elsewhere as well, so this is a great deal for Memphis.

Throw verything else you got at Korver & call it a day.

Conley-Bayless
Allen-Korver-Wroten
Prince-Pondexter
Zbo-Davis-Luer
Gasol-Koufos

Hopefully Ed Davis gets 24+mins next year. Keep Zbo fresh he's talented just needs burn to show it. I'd love that bench. Maybe Wroten will contribute as well. You guys look to be contenders again.

yep, plus trade exception, a combo bayless + prince for deng/granger/e. gordon. More realistic, trade exception for james jones and wait for better trades, or trade prince for expiring players that fit better: butler (dont know if suns want him), ariza, salmons... or just wait and see how this teams plays with the new coach. I still have faith (a little) on prince.
