- We have legitimate championship pedigree on the roster and significant playoff and international experience.
People can go on about how efficient JV was but the reality is he presented a lot of the same problems DeRozan did in that he's a major defensive liability and at times it's legitimately hard to keep him on the floor (which is why he only plays 19mpg now).
We have no such players in the rotation at the moment. This is huge.I relish negativity and disappointment. It is not healthy. Somebody buy me a pony.

He's not washed up like Dirk or Melo are... but he's also not as good as he used to be. His injuries might be catching up to him fast.

It is very clear that Massi is putting huge hope in this playoff. He is doing many gambling right now, but there is not a major difference between Marc and JV. I do believe that JV is more dynamic than Marc. On the other hand, when you bear in mind the lose of D Wright, then it is a major black hole in the PG side.
This trade will hurt us in the playoff.

this is why the raps made the gasol move:

- gasol's ability to pop is the counter pic.twitter.com/KA9caCz2Fd

Last two years the grizz started off well. (Two years ago they beat Golden State twice) but they're too thin and Conley and Gasol have to carry the offense. They wear down, and the team starts to lose, and they check out as the team tanks.
Now they wear down because they're not 26, but that load is ridiculous. I like what Nurse did with Ibaka and I think he'll do the same with Gasol. We'll see a good player here.Last edited by Mitchell Duong; Thu Feb 7, 2019, 08:06 PM.
