It's only 10 days, not necessary nothing to lose. TT has some athleticism, but after a two year absence, how much game can he recovered. He was never known to have the best motor and lack a perimeter game.

Zach Randolph played 40 minutes last night so we could see this coming. We needed an actual PF who does not play afraid like Luer sometimes does. If he does well would love to see him stick the rest of the season.

I know it's potentially only a short-term thing, but I don't get why this guy is seen as a better solution than 8-10 minutes of Jarnell Stokes per night.

I do think Joeger needs to play the rookies 5-10 minutes to get them experience, cut some of TA and Z-bo's minutes to keep them healthy and rested

That's probably my biggest gripe I have with the Griz, and it's been the same for a while. Rookies/prospects usually only get garbage minutes. I'd rather give Stokes the opportunity to improve and show he belongs instead of signing Thomas, a guy that isn't known for playing Grizzlies style basketball.

Keep in mind that the people making the decisions actually get to watch Jarnell Stokes practice daily and know what mistakes he made in his two starts this year and when given playing time. His time will come but right now we need to plug any weakness to make a title push. Player Development is not high on the agenda this year as our goal is very different.

I hope to Tyrus to play well and gives us the missing piece, an athletic inside player who can play above the rim. If this is the case i think we dont have to makes more moves, and play all the way with this roster. WE CAN DO IT!
for next season i hope a sign and trade for Kosta and let Calathes free, resign Marc and Jeff use his option for another year. We have to see what we can get in the sign and trade or/and in the free agent market and then go for another ring!

Go Grizz

Let's get one first, actually, I would be happy if we were even the best in the west this season, how stacked it is.

Well, he was always kind of a dumbass but he does have length, talent and athleticism. So let's hope he's finally matured a bit or fixed whatever his problem was.

On thats note we should be even more concerned if Memphis signs him when they could have signed Hassan Whiteside lol
