I think this is a bad trade for both teams.

JV do something different next to Zion than what Adams was doing?

I think this is a bad trade for both teams.

they killed 3 birds with one stone. I would even argue 10 is worse than 17 if they cant get an all star due to lower salary.
this draft theres no difference mid-late round reminds me of 2020.

Griffin pulled a rabbit out of hat, Memphis GM is drunk.

meh...New Orleans just dropped to 17 in this class and will most likely lose the Lakers pick next year to Memphis as well, all to trade two assets (Adams/Bledsoe) that they should've never had in the first place.

JV is fine I guess...but I am not in love with fit next to Zion either

common occurance in the NBA where both teams looks like idiots.

Who does Memphis want at 10? Moody?

that's not bad if he's still there at 10 but rumor is Giddey?

MEM already one of the youngest team, why get even younger?

masterclass from david griffin yeeeeeshhhhhhhh

Horrible horrific trade for Memphis

[Jadoogar]

I don't know why people like it so much for the Pelicans, Griffin just wasting assets left and right for nothing

Clearing capspace, they can go after Lowry or retain Ball. They need to surround Zion with better players. JV>Adams.

So the grizzlies, who just made the playoffs with a young pg:

Traded their 2nd best, at times BEST player

Added 2 bad contracts and probably 2 over the hill players

All just to acquire a #10 pick. Which rhey also gave up their #17 for.

Thats a great way to show your young franchise point guard you're trying to compete.

ON TOP OF THAT you're making a direct competitor in the west with also an up and coming franchise player better and giving them cap space to add to an already improved team.

W...T....F

Val is a much better fit next to Zion, I think…sure, he can’t guard the p&r, but he is such an underrated player

I think this is HUGE…if they get Lowry? Lowry/NAW/Ingram/Zion/val is a good team

And they still have ways to upgrade


Edit—-who are the grizz targeting at 10? They have ja/bane/brooks/Melton/Allen…so it can’t be moody or bouknight right?

What in the world Memphis

[Zombiesonics]

Memphis has been drafting pretty well recently, i'll give them some benefit of the doubt. maybe they have their eye on a specific player. three players who might be gone but really fit: sengun, wagner, and kuminga. I dont see a need for a sg when you have brooks and bane already.

Why would memphis want Giddey? They have Ja ...

knowing them, probably Corey Kispert

[The Master]

Bledsoe has partially guaranteed contract in 22/23 season (3,9 mln), and Adams isn't as bad as he was in Pelicans.

If they can get a decent player with #10, it's not as bad as it looked like at first sight for Memphis. Valanciunas is in a contract year as well. Lot of overreaction IMHO.

[Walmart]

Memphis just took a huge step back wow.

Knowing them? They’ve drafted well since the front office change
