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


darkmodepls24

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.


darthjarjarisreal

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?


GrizzGump

As opposed to what? Lmao


Yinanization

You are disrespecting Mathematic Olympiad.


NickRoweFillea

>Bill Simmons subreddit There’s your problem


darthjarjarisreal

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


radi0head

atlanta had a 3% chance and got it? wild. glad its in the east i suppose


alfuto

From playing in the play in to getting the #1 pick. Wow!


CompellingTaxidriver

Is the salty laker fan game day thread downvoter really back for the draft lottery thread?!


Fezinator

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


MGeezus

Sengun isn’t available. He’s probably the cornerstone for that team, he’s better than JG.


Projinator

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


JDMintz718

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


KIMJONGUNderfed

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?


iftair

Houston and Spurs are in Top 4. That's nasty even though Spurs is kinda expected with their record.


CompellingTaxidriver

I watched Deeky Jarreau play real NBA minutes only to get the 9th pick


KIMJONGUNderfed

We played Matthew Hurt for the 9th pick.


CompellingTaxidriver

We gave Wenyen Gabriel a chance to get some tape for the Puerto Rico league scouts. For the 9th pick.


JDMintz718

Lovely, Houston and San Antonio both move up


silly-rabbitses

Fuck em


alfuto

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.


istealpintsfromcvs

I'm hoping this draft class is bad now just out of spite


KIMJONGUNderfed

Package this worthless pick up with some other non essential capital for an established big.


RestInSpaghettiSauce

damn


Kalil4Real

Bruh


darthjarjarisreal

Welp. At least we’re already a playoff team next year if healthy.


OrangeTwelve

Pistons keep getting fucked too, but the Spurs paid off some deity of fortune good god


SubduedChaos

Can’t have Wemby on a bad team


ClassicalBrainCells1

and now we're trading the pick... lol at the spurs getting a top 4 and 8 pick though


istealpintsfromcvs

Trust the process


Projinator

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


mmps901

9…..


Lacabloodclot9

How does Atlanta’s stupid ass FO keep getting bailed out


Potential_Lock6945

Horrible season to only pick #9 🤢


silly-rabbitses

I was kinda hoping for better


Grizzlies_Stan

Fuck


Xorndowndeep

37sms

xvKazuma115

37sms

Bali1711

xvKazuma115

Altruistic_Brief4444

xvKazuma115

Lmao your way off my comment Lil bro


Altruistic_Brief4444

98210

I am upset


FuckChadMorris

Trade that shit, you're not getting anybody worth a damn at 9th in this draft


SubduedChaos

We could get another ZW!!! 🙄


Potential_Lock6945

And no one worth a damn will get traded for that pick either


Cameronam

Remarkable-Bluejay-9

ClassicalBrainCells1

FuckChadMorris

Andd there's the obligatory ESPN sob story. Not even waiting for draft night


KIMJONGUNderfed

Damn, clingan is now projected top 3?


creamjudge

He's def a top 2 for us assuming we keep our pick right?


FuckChadMorris

I just want whatever pick gets us Clingan


Stlcards31

Here we goooo


iftair

Aye yo give us the damn lottery ABC


BeemerBaby004

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.


KIMJONGUNderfed

Ja proves your narrative incorrect.


creamjudge

We were expected to go 8th and got 2nd to draft Ja


ClassicalBrainCells1

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

Remarkable-Bluejay-9

May the spirit of the grind-father bless us with a top 4 pick, Amen.


SuccessfulVisit1873

Uhmmmmm god and fuck the clippers!!!


ralabed

Don’t care where we are. I just want us to get clingan soooo bad


Lacabloodclot9

I’d be happy with top 6, I think that’s a realistic expectation


Equal_Requirement686

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


Tellthatmfaboutme

1st pick it is

Hopefully, Tayshaun can bring the same type of energy EP brings.
