I still think his defensive awareness and rebounding are suspect. He gets some blocks and rebounds, but no one would accuse him of dominating the paint on the defensive end. He needs to lead the team on defense so the coach doesn't have to over emphasize (like Fratello did).

We also need someone who can create his own shot. Miller is basically a spot up shooter (who is also suspect on defense). Rudy Gay must step up here.

I'm not 100% opposed to a Gasol trade, but I favor waiting and seeing, and from what I read at the Commercial Appeal, he seems to be onboard for now...]]> tag:grizzliesnation.com,2007-05-30:375634 kevin 2007-05-31T08:18:27Z 2007-05-30T15:08:30Z tag:grizzliesnation.com,2007-05-30:375482 the butler http://www.milehighramblings.blogspot.com/ 2007-05-31T08:19:10Z 2007-05-30T13:22:16Z
My hope is still for B. Wright, if not him then I guess roll the dice with Yi.]]> tag:grizzliesnation.com,2007-05-29:373655 MemphisX http://www.GrizzliesNation.com 2007-05-29T04:50:08Z 2007-05-29T04:50:08Z tag:grizzliesnation.com,2007-05-28:372757 Merrick 2007-05-29T04:43:05Z 2007-05-28T00:33:08Z
- I'm not sold ton Terry Porter as coach.

- I'd like either Griffin from PHX or Pesti from San Antonio. Frankly, both guys have done well with their respective franchises, although Kiki V. would be an interesting choice as well.

- I like the idea of making some trades in the first round to acquire add'l picks, however I don't think Boston would give up the #5...and I certainly do NOT want Telfair. He's been nothing but a high school phenom, and why take him when you have Lowry on the roster?

Playing fantasy GM, what about a trade with:

A) Portland...they want Conley to go along w/Oden, what about the #4 plus Brian Cardinal for Zach Randolph and Sergio Rodriguez? We get the inside bruiser, a PG that can run and score, plus we get rid of Cardinals contract.

OR

B)Would Charlotte be interested in moving up from #8 to #4 to get either Yi or Horford? They have two first-rounders, so perhaps we could parlay that into one of Brewer/Green/B. Wright/J. Wright AND later in the draft perhaps T. Splitter from Brazil or Sean Williams from Boston College.

OR

C) We know that Paxson wants Gasol, but they'll have a tough time matching salaries to make it work under NBA rules. Hmmm, would they be interested in Yi or Horford? What would they be willing to sacrifice?

This is fun to talk about, and without the insider's knowledge I realize it's just pure speculation...but it's still fun!]]>
