Welcome to Memphis Grizzlies

@douglindauer7327 7 дней назад

Totally disagree on him being plan 'B'. Nobody in their right mind should have wanted Clingan over Edey. The noise about Clingan was all about trying to keep other people from grabbing Edey. It was a classic Red Auerbach strategy. How could you even speculate that any sane person would want Clingan over Edey? To do that someone would have had to be working some serious mojo on the other guys' minds. Oh! And that's what actually happened. Let's give the psych out kudos to Kleiman! The ESPN bozos and other "pundits" helped fuel the Clingan fire and Kleiman just rode that wave. JMO

@blakewidmer 7 дней назад

100% agree with this, I think Kleiman played some excellent strategic games and got exactly what he wanted.

@user-ss7ue5jw2o 7 дней назад

I think Clingan being rated higher than Edey is silly. Edey is better offensively, hits free throws, is bigger, moved better in the combine, played way more minutes injury free, has a first rate mentality and defends The rim second to none when he decides to, which is key. He didn’t hunt blocks like Clingan because he HAD to avoid foul trouble due to his minutes usage. Late in game he was a beast defending, which is more impressive since he’d just played 30 minutes

@gregbors8364 День назад

He’s great at blocking layups attempts but pro players can switch up and hit that quick midrange that he won’t be able to get to without goaltending. He’ll be a decent backup at best

@ek1743 7 дней назад

I have to eat crow for my previous Zach Edey takes. This guy is going to be a monster like Yao or Shaq! Grizz can play big or small if needed. And Zach will eventually learn to shoot more proficiently

@kendrickpfaff4805 7 дней назад

same, i am not exaggerating when i say this is the most excited i’ve ever been about a grizz draft pick

@johnelliott3439 7 дней назад

There was more risk in Clingan than Edey due to his foot issue. He's in Portland which has a bad history of drafting bigs and their lower body issues.

@actrade1 7 дней назад

Wait until he can play without worrying about fouling out. He was on a “do not foul” list at Purdue. Go back and watch his block of Knecht late in that game. He will be a defensive force in the NBA and Ja Morant will love his massive screens and rolls

@WEASEL8512 6 дней назад

Shows his commitment to jellying with the team. He is going to play a major role in the grizzlies new offense

@adriankimble8422 6 дней назад

The Grizzlies out-maneuvered other teams by having everybody think Clingan was their guy, preventing other teams from thinking they would have to move up very high to land Edey.

@williewhite1161 7 дней назад

I absolutely love all 3 of our picks. Especially the Edey pick. And I really hope something can worked out with Luke Kennard. And it will be interesting to see who is out on this roster.

@blakewidmer 7 дней назад

I think its great for Zach and the Grizz that Edey is skipping olympics. He will play for them in 2028 but this year he probably wouldn't have played much. Summer league and gelling with NBA teammates is more important than national camaraderie.

@ek1743 7 дней назад

Zach is also durable. Trey Jemison and BC can be the bench bigs

@Eagle8 7 дней назад

I hope we can upgrade from Jemiso. BC may be an emergency big, but at 6'8", he's not a big

@brentlay7388 7 дней назад

Was really hoping Lamar would be retained. He plays both ends of the floor ! He is a winner.

I just disagree that Clingan was option A for the grizzlies especially where they landed. They never talk to Clingan or worked him out and made it clear they wasn’t trading Smart

@samdill36 3 дня назад

he is a giant......simple as that, and oh yeah, soft hands and smart as hell.....also has a mean streak, not a guy to mess with and only gonna get stronger. passes the ball well over the top...

@terrancemorgan1743 6 дней назад

The Grizzlies could have signed both Drummond ($5M) and Delon ($3.3M) for less than what Kennard is asking for. It didn't have to be Drummond; Goga or a proven center with size would have worked. Hopefully, when the season starts, they can assimilate early to develop chemistry. They have a fantastic roster, but adding vets in the two spots they need most (point guard and center) would provide more assurance. Expect times when players are out-having players to cover those spots would help and could still be achieved inexpensively. Let's see what happens.

Welcome Zach Eady to the Memphis grizzlies can't wait to see in the Beale Street blues waiting to see John Moran throw Zack Eady Alley-oop & him Jerry Jackson Jr be like the twin towers Blocking EveryThing!!!!

@DJJuan2memphis 7 дней назад

My theory is that the Grizzlies were trying to get Clingan & Edey. If they got Clingan first and nobody, it seems wanted Edey, he would have been available later. Just my mind thinking.

@colbybrand5326 7 дней назад

I was baffled that grizzlies didn’t make a move on Drummond or Jonas. I really am fearing that our management are penny pinching. If I was Ja, Bane and Jaren I’d start flexing and saying, “look, we are here IF YOU ARE WILLING TO SPEND ON SQUADS”. It’s very unlikely for us to win it all without EVENTUALLY, going all in. I actually think it’s smart to not do that this year, but we passed up on some great players that would make our team exponentially better. Those centers went cheap! I’m hoping we are holding out for a smaller, faster center. Actually, Tillman would be amazing now. Basically use Edey for big teams and a small center for smaller teams.
