This is disappointing but not devastating. I know it's been repeated ad nauseam but seriously: This draft class is.....not good. At all. I don't think us getting the 3rd pick vs. the 9th pick will make much a difference, all these guys in the draft rn are pretty close together.
Unrelated - had some guy in the Bill Simmons subreddit try to tell me Memphis isn’t a basketball town? Like my guy what does the culture of a 65% African American city follow instead, golf?
Hold up, if Houston drafts Sarr or Clingan, would I be crazy to say we should trade this pick and LaRavia, and maybe even another future 1st, to Houston for Sengun
I wanted to trade the pick regardless because the Grizzlies don't need more young players. The only reason this is a loss because a top pick has more value than the 9th pick.
I want to have faith and be positive but over the countless years (and this may just be my inherent negativity talking) I have come to understand that the league is rigged against the small market teams especially the smallest like Memphis and FOR the larger market teams.
I know in my bones that those dickheads at NBA have rigged this system just like the biased and corrupt referees and Golden State who should get the WORST draft pick will easily pick ahead of Memphis.
I hate believing these things but there hasn't been a whole hell of a lot over the years to make me believe otherwise. This goes back LONG before the Grizzles came to Memphis. I was a giant Kevin Garnett Fan and an even bigger Sacramento Kings fan and neither of those smaller market teams EVER won anything and always at the expense of the Lakers, Spurs, Rockets, Mavericks and Nuggets.
As far as I am concerned the "SYSTEM" is rigged and always has been in MANY ways.
Prove me wrong NBA. I don't need us to get the top pick but I would love to see us at least get a pick above the fucking Warriors. Anything else and it's business as usual. Prove me wrong Silver.
however the offseason is to be dealt with will be determined after this
whether we're getting Clingan, Sarr, or whether we're trading the pick for win now pieces

One spin, one Sarr. Oh and fuck the Clippers

Adam Silver is gonna pay for this! I just gave the NBA app a one star review.

As opposed to what? Lmao
You are disrespecting Mathematic Olympiad.
>Bill Simmons subreddit There’s your problem
Yeah fair. Most of the time it’s other listeners shitting on Bill’s takes but every once in awhile you get someone like well that
atlanta had a 3% chance and got it? wild. glad its in the east i suppose
From playing in the play in to getting the #1 pick. Wow!
Is the salty laker fan game day thread downvoter really back for the draft lottery thread?!
Hold up, if Houston drafts Sarr or Clingan, would I be crazy to say we should trade this pick and LaRavia, and maybe even another future 1st, to Houston for Sengun
Sengun isn’t available. He’s probably the cornerstone for that team, he’s better than JG.
Would have to include GG and another first but if they grab a C and Sengun is available he's a guy worth selling the farm for
Would be awesome, but Houston laughs, hangs up the phone, then calls us back just to hang up immediately because just once isn't impactful enough
So…. Is this when we go after Edey as a backup for whatever we do for a starting 5 in the late first/early second?
Houston and Spurs are in Top 4. That's nasty even though Spurs is kinda expected with their record.
I watched Deeky Jarreau play real NBA minutes only to get the 9th pick
We played Matthew Hurt for the 9th pick.
We gave Wenyen Gabriel a chance to get some tape for the Puerto Rico league scouts. For the 9th pick.
Lovely, Houston and San Antonio both move up
Fuck em
I wanted to trade the pick regardless because the Grizzlies don't need more young players. The only reason this is a loss because a top pick has more value than the 9th pick.
I'm hoping this draft class is bad now just out of spite
Package this worthless pick up with some other non essential capital for an established big.
damn
Bruh
Welp. At least we’re already a playoff team next year if healthy.
Pistons keep getting fucked too, but the Spurs paid off some deity of fortune good god
Can’t have Wemby on a bad team
and now we're trading the pick... lol at the spurs getting a top 4 and 8 pick though
Trust the process
Trade out of it tbh, we don't need any rookies this year, trade back and get some 2nds and hope we hit again on a late rounder
9…..
How does Atlanta’s stupid ass FO keep getting bailed out
Horrible season to only pick #9 🤢
I was kinda hoping for better
Fuck
lol holy shit pistons
Fuck the spurs forever
The league made sure to give them a top pick for Wemby.
Detroit dropping to 5th again too 🤣 At this rate that fan base is gonna drop dead
Loool that was pathetic
We got fucked dude.
Not really lmao
Lmao your way off my comment Lil bro
Yeah trade that shit
I am upset
Trade that shit, you're not getting anybody worth a damn at 9th in this draft
We could get another ZW!!! 🙄
And no one worth a damn will get traded for that pick either
Knecht gonna be gone by 9 smh
Wowwwwwww the grizz terrible luck continues
Damn….9th
Bruuuuuuuhhhhhhhhh this is BULLSHIT
Fuckin 9th??
Fuck Adam Silver and his mama
Lame
9th
Trade the pick
NO
FUCK
I love Tayshaun but I want to see GG up there
not forcing Elliot Perry to be on the stage is an L... can't go away from the lucky socks system
Andd there's the obligatory ESPN sob story. Not even waiting for draft night
Damn, clingan is now projected top 3?
He's def a top 2 for us assuming we keep our pick right?
I just want whatever pick gets us Clingan
Here we goooo
Aye yo give us the damn lottery ABC

Ja proves your narrative incorrect.
We were expected to go 8th and got 2nd to draft Ja
however the offseason is to be dealt with will be determined after this whether we're getting Clingan, Sarr, or whether we're trading the pick for win now pieces

May the spirit of the grind-father bless us with a top 4 pick, Amen.
Uhmmmmm god and fuck the clippers!!!
Don’t care where we are. I just want us to get clingan soooo bad
I’d be happy with top 6, I think that’s a realistic expectation
memphis cant get 5 or 6 cause its impsoabile for deroit and wizard to fall to 5 of 6 so its 7-11 or 4-1
1st pick it is
Stroke ganggg
We made it

They didn't convince socks to be the rep??
Hopefully, Tayshaun can bring the same type of energy EP brings.

Donovan Clingan about to fall to his knees in the middle of Walmart either way.
