do you guys think JV deserves to have his jersey retired here once his career is over? I moved if you think bosh should be retired I think JV has just as much as a case as him. although he was never a all star he ranks high in lots of franchise records

No and I'm a huge JV fan. Retiring jerseys are for elite long term players who contributed to successful playoff runs at a minimum. They can't all win championships for obvious reasons.

No one before DeRozan. I'd be OK with Lowry. No to quitter-carter but they'll do him anyway. No to Bosh for sure. Sorry, no to JV but huge and long standing O comng up

You know when they'll retire carter? If Kawhi leaves and they sell off Lowry and Gasol etc and they need some fake nostagia to take fans minds off the brutal long rebuild that would be coming with no superstars looking to come to TO.

Like DD first when they just need a feel good distraction because the current team sucks....

Memphis could be a fun rebuild project in 2K. Trying to build a traditional NBA lineup with 2 bigs around JJJ and JV.

Lol poor jv man. Its gotta suck to go to a tanking team as you spent the last few weeks motivating yourself to get back and help the contender you've grown with for 5 playoff drives. It's like getting knocked all the way back down the ladder and starting from scratch. Even Raptors without Kawhi are in a better position to recover faster than memphis is now

Sometimes it feels better to be a bigger part of a team and to lead/drive its success than to be a passenger on a winner. That's why Kyrie asked out of Cleveland.

I'm actually happy for JV--as long as they free him. Bickerstaff has given JJJ the quick hook all year so who knows what he plans on doing with JV, but given that JV is the centrepiece coming back for a Memphis hero, you gotta believe the Grizzlies will give him plenty of run.

I don't know why I care. But here's 2 articles plus a reddit thread...

they'll kick the can further down the road if they see a player they like this year, and if memphis has confidence they'd much rather give up the 16th pick in 2021 than the 8th or 6th in 2019, 2020.

if they're smart they will tank this year and try and grab Jarrett Culver

Why is this thread still here? Please move this thread to the Let's NBA forum.

The DeRozan thread was moved literally right after the trade was announced.

You're a cold man, t-fury

I replied to your post where you said he stole millions from us. Just saying that he was useful to us last year. He was not a complete waste.

Landry Fields on the other hand was a complete waste.

Yes, Landry was.

[G__Deane]

lol. Poor CJ has been completely forgotten. He didn't even get a single polite 'thanks, CJ' post.

But we're all buying PJs in his memory right?

[planetmars]

Last season was ultimately a failure. We got rid of that same bench mob you're talking about. I guess you're emotionally attached to some memories and thats fine, but there is a reason nobody around here posted about him leaving.
