How was it weird? Not trying to argue, just wanted your thoughts.

Memphis seems perfect for him especially at this stage in his career. I think it's a win-win for him and the Grizz.

He was on bad teams then. He's been very good for Dallas.

Interesting to see what he does without Carlisle's sets getting him open looks

That is what Zbo and Marc Gasol are for

It happens to some guys late in their careers if they're not in a conducive system.

Boris Diaw comes to mind.

Yeah ok

We'll see won't we?

Best passing Center in the league and two guys that draw a ton of attention down low. Guys get open looks on this team, the problem has been finding guys that can make them.

Lol at believing that Bosh nonsense. The three would have made it happen if they wanted to. LBJ wanted to go back to his hometown. That's the story. The end. There's really no reason to believe otherwise based on their past.

Bingo.

The loss of Q-Pon was felt last year in this regard. And as much as we all love the Grindfather, I'd rather VC take a contested jumper than he if I'm a MEM fan.

Having QPon back and Courtney Lee being here for training camp should be huge.

Plus Beno has shown he can provide a scoring punch as well.

Another year of well-earned dark horse status on the horizon for y'all, I reckon.

Then why did it take 118 mm to make it work without Bron? Why did bosh's number dramatically go up with Bron out of the picture? Bosh was going to take 90mm with Bron. Without him it takes 28mm more? Bosh hurt Miami rebuilding even more after lebron left.

Riley underestimated the FA market, bosh wanted 90mm to come back and the heat were fricked by staying loyal to bosh. No way to really rebuild paying Bron what he is worth, wade what they felt they owed him and bosh what he wanted.

I think Riley felt like Bron was probably gone before he went to Vegas. I doubt Bron ever said get rid of bosh but everyone knew if bosh came back at his number it wouldn't work. I think Bron wanted to see if Riley would make the tough move, Riley stayed loyal to bosh and that sealed it for Bron's homecoming.

I don't blame bosh one bit, he took care of himself and Miami stayed loyal. Unlike their lack of loyalty to miller when they amnestied him without telling lebron what they were doing. It was a game of high stakes poker but LBJ had the best cards. He won
