Memphis Grizzlies 2018-2019 Season Watch Thread

[Moranis]

I think it has more trade value by rolling over to next season, no?

Maybe, maybe not.

[Silky]

DeAndre Hunter at 9. Beast.

If there is no chance to move up, then this is probably the obvious choice at 9

barring any major draft shakeups as well.

Draft looks top heavy to me, but most are...

I'm looking at Top 3 being the big impact players, but then again, I was the guy at the beginning of the season who thought that nobody would come out of this draft, so I guess we're in a "shows you what I know" situation.

Yes, Williamson, Morant and Barrett are the unquestionable top 3. The rest are very similar in talent through pick 20 or so.

I prefer Rui Hachimura over Hunter but he might not be there at 9.

What are the odds the Griz pick conveys?

Their schedule looks kinda tough.

I will hang up and listen.

As been mentioned, Memphis would likely prefer their pick conveys this year. They will be trying to win to secure the 9th worst record while LAL and NOLA are trying to lose. LA's schedule looks tougher than NOLA's. It's possible now, unlike as little as a month ago when I was saying it's probably time to start a 2019-2020 Memphis Season Watch Thread.
The Wiz are also in the running but they're pretty much hopeless.

They have some pretty winnable games left @suns, against the mavericks twice (who are doing the hardest tank in the league right now) and warriors on last day of season when they are probably resting everyone.
if they just win those games i think we definitely get the pick cause I can't see Memphis, New Orleans or Dallas keeping pace with that and they would end up in the 9th spot.

You can't see Memphis keeping up with the Grizzlies? 😋😂😂😂

You're right.  They left Vancouver quite while ago so I think the people of Memphis have caught up to them by now.

When I think of Vancouver grizzlies, I think of Cherokee Parks

It's Shareef Abdur-Rahim for me. He WAS that team. Always liked his game and thought he was ridiculously underrated as a player.

TP's to greenshooter and celticsday for tracking the grizz through the woods of Tenn this season and giving me hope.

I've always wanted to witness Danny Ainge "with four first round picks in one draft".

He's hunched in the corner of his office....mumbling to himself (gollumesque) the morning of the draft...."I have all da dwaft pix....I have more dwaft pix dan anybody else evah!...Do I twade da dwaft pix? Do I pick da dwaft pix? My pwecious dwaft pix."

It is Bryant “Big Country” Reeves for me.
