Terrence Ross?

[Zordor]

What if the grizzlies tried to pursue Terrance Ross?

I was thinking, and yes we are giving up quite a bit of both culture and assets, but I think it would be worth it.

Trade Carter, Calathes, Allen (along with some future picks) for Ross and two contracts they dont want that wont hurt us for long such as Chuck Hayes 5.5m contract, but only good for this year, or landry fields 8m contract only good for this year, then we pick up Jordan Crawford from the waiver wire.

Pros:
Get a good up coming talent that grinds it out to the basket and can also spread the floor with his decent mid range and long range shots, he is a natural SF at 6' 7" the dude has highlight reel dunking ability and that is the one thing I miss in Grizz ball since the trade of Gay ( and yes I think this guy will be as good if not better than gay in the long term, you can disagree) also he has not just this year but also next year on his contract at only 2.3m which is great for his set of skills and we should have the money in a couple years to sign him for more, more so than we do now. Jordan Crawford is also a great guy to space the floor if they also pick him up, also with having chuck hayes or fields, what this does is gives us large amount of contracts coming off the books with both Prince's 7.7m and add in another 5.5-8m and we have a lot of open cap going into next offseason, and some roster spots we can fill = good combo

Cons:
We lose a veteran star in Vince Carter who we just got, and I think he is a great player, but for the best for the team this might be a good trade to let him finish where he started. Also where I might have been tempted to trade Q-pon or Lee, I am starting to believe in Lee more as a starter and potential 6 man come when adams is starter ready , lee put up his best year ever last year and I think Q-pon barring injury can turn his career around. We also lose Allen who has become one of the faces of this franchise's Grit and Grind mentality, and I have gained a deep respect for what he brings to this team, but he is not starting SF material and the direction the team is looking to move into, he might not be good come the long term. There is no con to trading Calathes. Also being contract heavy this season and trading away key pieces could stop another western conf finals showing before it even appears, but it could also facilitate another one or better in the future. Also trading away a pick(s) is tough business for any team, but I think Conley, Adams, Lee, Ross, Gasol, Randolph are the key guys on the grizz moving forward.

Tell me what you guys think
