Curry Gasol

On second thought... They'll end up with the 8th pick in the 2010 draft...

Seriously, the only people I've seen disagree with that statement is other Grizz fans. *@!*! getting old... It really isn't a reach at all. Idon't see this one year loan being a good thing for you guys. The only reason I liked Iverson on the Knicks is because he would thrive in an offense likeours.
Edit: And I guess Kal Ripped Ken in this topic

Not sure what's going to happen in 2-3 years but this upcoming season, Gasol should get the bulk of the minutes at center. I wouldn'texpect more than 12-15 MPG from Thabeet.

lmao @ the dude really trying to compare that Knicks lineup to the Grizz.
Anyway, I'm not saying AI or Z-Bo aren't part of the problem. What I'm saying is that they aren't the entire problem. There was alot more goingon within' those organizations they were with than to solely blame them for what happened.
I see 35 games being a minimum. Anything less will be a disappointment. I easily see them winning between 35-42 games if they remain healthy. It will takesometime for them to learn to play together and they will probably have a slow start, but they will get it together. I just hope AI comes off the bench. If hestarts, it will definitely result in alot of miscommunication.
As for OKC having a better record this year, everybody is entitled to their opinion. I'll put anything down that OKC won't have a better record thanMemphis. If they do, I'll be shocked.

what is the point of signing iverson if it's gonna stunt the growth of conley...and possibly mayo. i just don't get it. it's like the grizzliesjust wanna take this year to take one step backward.
iverson stunted the growth of melo in denver, i'm gonna go out on a limb and say he's gonna do the same to this young roster.

Co-sign.
...and don't forget JR Smith. Melo and JR were playing really well together till AI arrived. It seemed like JR went non-existent those years when AI was inDenver..
And look at them now with Billups...

False. A.I. didnt stunt JR growth, George Karl did. GK let JR rot on the bench with plenty of DNP's for no reason until the 2nd half of the07-08 when he was forced by the GM to let JR out of the dog house. During that 2nd half span JR started balling with A.I. on the court. All JR needed was thechance to get out of GK's dog house.

Iverson used to be one of my favorite players back in the day. After the Detroit fiasco, I'm no longer a fan of his and I think he's a team cancer. Heisn't going to do @#$% in Memphis. Him signing with Memphis makes as much sense as me trying to saw my foot off. Terrible move.

I always viewed AI throughout his entire career as a "it's all about me guy" . The guys clearly is all about playing for $$$ and the spotlight atwhichever team he's been on. Heck even his college days at Georgetown it was always the AI show and not about the Hoyas making a run and having a shot atthe national title.
The problem is his die hard fans who see no wrong in him and look up to him. Can't and won't recognize his short comings and see who he really is.
