Assuming you guys get a top 2 pick who do you want for the team Oden or Durant?

I would be shocked if they dont take Oden. An Oden-Gasol frontcourt is just scary. Durant with Miller and Gay on the team just seems redundant.

I think Durant is staying in school. I heard Oden is also. That would royally suck for the Grizz.

Either would be fools to stay a second longer than they have to. Both will declare.

And I want Greg Oden over Kevin Durant, though I wouldn't be disappointed with either. If we don't get one of the Top 2 picks this season, I think this franchise is screwed.

I know the lottery isn't supposed to be fixed but the NBA is going to risk losing a franchise if Memphis doesn't pick top 2. The worst record doesn't usually get the top pick but I don't think anyone would be that upset with Durant.

What if the grizzlies get the 3rd, or even worst, the 4th pick ?

I really like brandan wright for the 3rd pick but would he and gasol be able to coexist? what if they finish lower?

Pimped Out

with the worst record they cant fall below fourth.

i like durant. but i dont really like the grizzlies. so you guys should draft oden.
not that it matter. durant is staying in school. yeah, thats whats gonna happen.

Cinco de Mayo

Then game over.

I would take a strong look at Hibbert. I am not saying to take him 3rd but he is worth a shot. If he projects out to be a quality starting center then atleast a postive would come out of the draft. With Gasol a PF isn't needed and SFs are easier to find so whenever possible get a Center.

If we do not get Oden or Durant and it isn't because they are back in school, we are screwed. It means wasting time building on failed foundations hoping the next time a franchise player is available, we are bad enough to get one.

I mean we can build a playoff team and hopefully get lucky (Detroit) and sneak a title in there but it is doubtful. Remember, with all the talent Phoenix has they have failed to make it to the finals even once. Been beaten by Duncan and Dirk and almost got beat by Kobe. You need that killer elite level talent. Eveyone wants to say center but Bird, Magic, MJ, and Zeke say otherwise. And Durant is a New Age Larry Bird IMO.

Whether we get Oden or Durant, the Grizzlies will be in great shape for a few years. Oden gives us the defensive dominator in the paint that we need and Durant would provide the big shot shooter that we have always been lacking. I think that I am the only person in the world that is okay with ending up with Noah if we don't get one or two. Noah has won at ever level that he has played so far. He does what it takes to win. He has a very marketable personality. And he isn't motivated by money. He could end up being a bigger, better verison of Ben Wallace. The defensive presence in the paint next to Pau. Capable of getting up and down the floor on the break. Able to pass out of the post and to cutters in the paint. Two NCAA National Championships.

With any of the three, buy out Damon and sign Billups.

1 Billups/ Lowery
2 Miller/ Kinsey
3 Gay/ Warrick/ Cardinal
4 Gasol/ Roberts/ Alexander
5 Oden/ Swift

or

1 Billups/ Lowery
2 Miller/ Kinsey
3 Gay/ Warrick/ Cardinal
4 Durant/ Roberts/ Alexander
5 Gasol/ Swift

or

1 Billups/ Lowery
2 Miller/ Kinsey
3 Gay/ Warrick/ Cardinal
4 Gasol/ Roberts/ Alexander
5 Noah/ Swift

These are all pretty good. The fall back to Billups would be Maurice Williams in my opinion.

This is a talented, athletic squad with some guys who can take care of the dirty work. The right coach could do great things with these guys in two or three years.
