Yeah, why not draft Rose. They only have 3 PGs on the roster already. That idiot Chris Wallace gave away Pau Gasol for nothing at all. This would just be the latest dumb move by him.

First they have to get the #1 pick and then I see them trading one or 2 of there current PG's. And don't forget Conley was a high pick last year for them.
The chase is for Beasley right now.

Right, it's all moot until the lottery anyways.

Sports_Fan_19 | 05/19/08, 07:54 AM

since the grizzlies love helping out the lakers so much they could draft rose or beasley and trade him to L.A. for Mbenga and a bag of chips , damn fools

Dizzy | 05/19/08, 08:59 AM

They have more issues than one player... too early to discuss this..

drj0514 | 05/19/08, 09:01 AM

Dizzy.. I think the Grizzlies' lottery pick in exchange for Mbenga, Coby Karl, and Ira Newble sounds fair. Don't you? Somebody get Chris Wallace on the phone.

bigdog1002 | 05/19/08, 09:12 AM

The NBA draft is tomorrow so reading about who the Heat or Grizzlies will draft will the number 1 or 2 pick is pointless.

I Like Turtles | 05/19/08, 09:21 AM

Sorry, I mean to say the NBA lottery is tomorrow.

I Like Turtles | 05/19/08, 09:22 AM

Let the lottery happen before you start worrying about "dilemmas". Also, trade Kwame Brown ASAP. That will help too..

jj730 | 05/19/08, 09:44 AM

You're not guaranteed the top pick. As far as attendance goes, if you put a winner on the floor, you'd be surprised how much attendance will go up. Stupid trades like Kwame Brown for your best player probably will not help the cause. Even with Rose, as soon as the novelty wears off, the fans will go back home.

Hllywd: Old Schoolin' | 05/19/08, 09:58 AM

This is completely pointless unless the Grizz win the lottery. But let's say they win. They are loaded at the point guard position. It would be counter-intuitive to draft a player like Rose one year after drafting Mike Conley from Ohio State. Conley is eminently capable of leading this team. Another flaw in the argument is that Mike Beasley could draw larger attendance numbers as well!!! Are we to assume that the Memphis Grizzlies marketing staff is so unintelligent that it couldn't find a way to draw fans to see perhaps the best freshman talent in NCAA history (by statistical qualification, anyway). Let's give the Grizz management the benefit of the doubt. The Gasol trade was a smart move in the long run. They now have enough liquid assets to pick up a solid draft pick and some veterans to bolster the talented Conley-Gay-Miller tandem. They need a big man. They need Beasley.

pantherfan0728 | 05/19/08, 10:29 AM

With Conley, Lowry, and Navarro the last thing this team needs is another point guard. There is no dilemna. It's called draft Beasley if you have the number one pick and move on.

J. HOVA: BROOKLYN'S OWN | 05/19/08, 10:38 AM

So draft Beasley and move the team to Seattle

RunItUp | 05/19/08, 10:38 AM

Dizzy, your post was a hoot...LOL

Wa2Sea | 05/19/08, 11:09 AM

THEY SHOULD TAKE THE BEST PALYER IN THE DRAFT BROOK LOPEZ.....I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE LAUGHING RIGHT NOW....REMEMBER I TOLD YA.....BROOK LOPEZ IS THE NEW TIM DUNCAN 7 FT 260 WITH LATERAL MOVEMENT.....THEY HAVE CONLEY AND CRIDDETON ALREADY.....NOW THEY CAN REPLACE GASOL.....I WOULD TAKE HIM IF I HAD THE CHOICE OF ANYONE IN THIS DRAFT.....ROSE AMY BE THE BEST PLAYER BUT THEY DONT NEED HIM.......BEASLEY IS GONNNA BE A BUST! ,,,,,,,,BROOK LOPEZ WILL STEP RIHT IN AND AVERAGE 20 AND 10!

VP OF OPERATIONS | 05/19/08, 11:22 AM

damm my keyboard is broke.....lol

VP OF OPERATIONS | 05/19/08, 11:23 AM

dizzy u are a joker lol draft beasley and send him and mike miller to the
raptors for derrick martin and t.j ford

mobchester | 05/19/08, 11:42 AM

I tend to agree with VP. You must establish dominance in the middle if possible. Remember where you heard it --Lopez could very well be the best pick in this draft.

Hllywd: Old Schoolin' | 05/19/08, 12:01 PM

Let's see who would we rther give away in a "trade" in a few years?

jpd | 05/19/08, 12:22 PM

If there is a such thing as karma, the Griz will get the last pick in the lottery. Fortune should not reward the stupid - and no - no other bottom feeder team has been quite as stupid as the Griz.
