Grizzlies get burned.
I thought i would post this, no real news here, just a writers opinion, but it is a great burn.
And chances are there are no Griz fans in Australia that will take offence!
"Flat out, the Grizzlies will be pushing to have one of the worst records of all time. Their veterans are the worst sort of dregs: Greg Buckner, Antoine Walker, and Marko Jaric. Useless, Cancer, Slacker. Their frontcourt is horribly weak. Marc Gasol -- if he makes a successful transition to the U.S. -- is a good Oberto-like backup big, but other than Marc, there's no one to rebound or play in the paint. Darko has finally developed ... into a foul- and injury-prone stiff. Hakim Warrick and Darrell Arthur provide no post presence and combined weigh as much as Marc Gasol, and the new Iranian import Haddadi is both raw and twenty-three, a bad combination. The Memphis guards aren't going to be tremendously better. O.J. Mayo was simply not that good in college, and I already have doubts he'll ever be a top tier shooting guard in the league, much less be one in his rookie season. Mike Conley showed last year he was injury prone and merely okay when he wasn't hurt, Kyle Lowry showed he was fierce but limited, and Javaris Crittenton showed ... well not a lot because he played so little -- which is its own indictment. That leaves Rudy Gay. He's a good scorer, but he's not all-around good, and he's probably not even a franchise player. Put him on the Hornets, and I'd rank him as only the fourth best player behind Paul, West and Chandler. And that's my entire problem with these Grizzlies. They have one player who could start for most of the teams of the league(Gay), four players that would be in a nine-man rotation because they are young and show promise(Conley, Lowry, Mayo, Gasol) and that's it. If they break 15 wins this season, I'll be impressed."
