If we're terrible enough, Grant may ask out. Then we can flip him.


One can only hope - if you can flip him for Boston’s exception, you could actually then flip that... and end up with a decent number of picks.

Houston was beating him up last night, and that’s going to become the book on him.


Man the refs just cant be consistent. I've seen games where he would have shot 25 free throws for all the contact he was getting.

Sometimes the games can be more physical. Even some quarters can be Sumo matches, but beginning the next quarter any contact is a foul. Just never know.

Hitting people on the arms when they go to shoot is a sure fire way to slow someone down. If it never gets called, its the right play.


He did have a dozen free throws, but the pounding was constant - it’s almost like the Rockets were breaking the refs in, which happens often. The 04-08 Pistons used to talk about doing that - they’d foul and foul often, and dare the refs to constantly call them. Then when it’s late, nothing gets called. Just like last night - that final play was a fail because PJ Tucker was able to ignore Blake and crash into Grant without a foul called. Simple as that.

Wright / FrankJax
JoshJax / Svi
Grant / Bey
Sekou / Bey
Stewart / Plumlee


And Casey will raise you with Wright, Plum, and Ellington for at least 35+ minutes. Might even see both Plum and Okafor as a twin towers retro line up at this rate

Maybe they can get another vet off the current free market/waiver wire and play him 30 minutes too

Wright / FrankJax
Ellington / Svi
JoshJax / Bey
Grant / Okafor
Plumlee / Stewart
