On a personal level I do kind of feel bad for Zach willfully giving up his chance to probably start for his country at The Olympics for what turned out to be, effectively, front row seats to The Summer League.

[@brianstidd1164]

He will be fine when he cashes that first paycheck 😂😂😂

[@BnaBreaker]

@@brianstidd1164 lolol... fair point!

It's a long summer. Ja just got cleared for action. JJJ seems like he's taken his vacation and is back to work. Obviously being hopeful here, but I think this is all about being competitive right away in the west. Beating up G League bigs seems fun, but the work is still ahead

[@williewhite1161]

As a big time Grizzlies fan myself, l personally don't want to risk playing Edey much in these meaningless summer league games. Nor do I want him to play much in the preseason games either. We are on a mission this season and health is the most important thing.

[@playably]

He definitely needs to play in the preseason.

[@brianstidd1164]

I agree but us old Purdue fans/ new Grizzlies fans, we miss him.

[@na_k]

If the only player acquisitions by next season's trade deadline are signing Kennard and drafting 3 rookies, it means the GM and owner are fine with having a ceiling of making the 2nd round. This is unserious behavior when the Grizzlies have a core good enough to win a title -- all they need are the right vet pieces. I'll have to adjust my mindset to think like Kleiman, competing for a title isn't a priority, being cheap and just hoping things work out is.

Z was at the game, surely he wouldn't be if he were on the block? What about Konchar salary dump?

[@grizzliespod]

yeah he was at the game, i don't think that affects his status or anything

[@williewhite1161]

I sure hope that we can resign Kennard.

[@Beatemgrizz]

Defense liability. Should've kept Stevens

[@Poypull-Noypull]

I think if it's a 1 for 1 trade, the existing TPE can absorb said contract.

[@chirocket4791]

Kings we're so sloppy, looked like a AAU game.

[@grizzliespod]

exactly

[@ndq1125]

The FO held Edey out I don't think it was his choice

[@michaelharo7761]

WHAT about SANTI?

[@Beatemgrizz]

He needs to go. Defense liability

[@carltonberry137]

Zach Edey has been of for a week. If he was at the Olypics for Canada, he would be playing for us.

[@michaelharo7761]

What is Zaire good for? Highlights dunks running the court? Slightly good defense? He seems not able to create his own shot. Not consistent every game. I like him but i would dump him.

[@Beatemgrizz]

Just like Konchar, but they still holding onto that no bucket, low scoring, every now and then steals, and once and again blocks, avg 4.0 points. But yet he's still a grizz
