You're Fat, Pat! 98 Report post Posted September 9, 2009 Let me get this straight... Using ESPN.com's Grizzlies depth chart (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/teams/depth?team=mem), and adding Iverson, this is their lineup. Assuming that he's coming off the bench. Mike Conley/Allen Iverson/Marcus Williams O.J. Mayo/Allen Iverson/Marko Jaric Rudy Gay/DeMarre Carroll/Sam Young/Trey Gilder Zach Randolph/Darrell Arthur/Steven Hunter Marc Gasol/Hasheem Thabeet/Hamed Haddadi What on earth is that.

KLR 5 Report post Posted September 9, 2009 I don't know, barring toxic behavior from two particular players (which is unlikely) that team could surprise a few. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted September 9, 2009 im an iverson apologist but i still wonder about the people who point at jameer's 5 assists per game and say he's not a point guard and use that as a deciding factor. but then you have iverson who's had several seasons of 7 or 8 assists per game and he's absolutely not a pg. Either way i'm happy iverson got on another team. I think the dude gets more negative energy directed at him than he deserves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deadman54 7 Report post Posted September 9, 2009 i think this will hurt the grizzles even the pti boys said going to charlotte under brown would of been a better choice as he could make charlotte a playoff side where the grizzlies have no chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted September 10, 2009 i'd waive randolph (or stephon marbury him) and go iverson mayo gay arthur thabeet thabeet can run well and i dont know a thing about marc gasol other than the fact that he gets decent stats. I would run and run and run and try and get 150 every single game. People would like that style and some teams cant keep up. I bet you can get 30 wins doing that. I'd also see if i could swing a Gasol, Arthur, Conley (or mayo), 2 future firsts into an elite PF or a SF that could play PF. Condense the scoring talent into iverson, mayo, gay, and have your 4 play D and run. Have your 5 play D and run. Maybe you can convince Atlanta to give up josh smith for mayo gasol and arthur (plus picks) Its not necessary for Memphis to have Gasol, Thabeet, and Haddadi (all promising big men) when there are so many other glaring weaknesses. a lineup of conley/williams iverson/jaric gay/carroll/young/gilder smith/someone/someone else thabeet/haddadi/hunter would be: 1. fun to watch 2. a bit more balanced with offense/defense 3. able to pass the ball a bit more 4. have a mediocre record and fight for a playoff spot well into april before settling as the 9th best team.

Based on my own observation, Gasol does, by a lot, the most to help that team win. He isn't the best at anything really but guy competes and is going to be Kaman-type center, you know that guy who is good enough to be brought up by the TNT panel while talking about All-Star centers but probably won't ever really deserve a berth. They shouldn't have drafted Thabeet and they should have tried to turn that second overall pick (and the chance at snatching Rubio) into a deal to nab an atheletic 4 with a lot of upside. Shouldn't have gotten AI and if they are thinking of moving anyone, get rid of Gay before he walks. Mayo/Gasol/Anthony Randolph type player would be a very well balanced, affordable, and good "Big 3" three years down the road Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
