Re: Dead franchise walking...we got a dead franchise walking here!
I don't think the Grizzlies will be in the playoffs next year no matter what they try to do in the summer. The West is just too stacked and the only team that might be worse in the short term is Minnesota.
I don't think going after Milicic would be a good idea, yes he is still young, but he hasn't shown any desire to get better or the will to become a star, heck even a solid player. As long as you have some cap flexibility, you should keep it unless there is someone on the market who is more reliable and good for the long term.
The more I think about Conley the more I like the idea if the Hawks pick Horford. Lowry and him could tweak the minutes and then and go full speed for 24 minutes each, of course depending on foul trouble and other things during a game. I don't think there are many teams who can deal with two very fast point guards over the course of a game. Still, that won't get the Grizzlies in the playoffs, but after Oden, Durant and Horford there are no surefire big men in the draft. At least it would make the games exciting again, but I'm sure it would be a whole lot more than that.
