Who gets waived?

Olynyk doesn't make us worse for the tank. Giving those minutes to Udoka makes us worse for the tank.

Olynyk doesn't replace Bogey's shooting/spacing/scoring. Let's put it that way.

I kind of the felt the same way. You think so highly of a player but for some reason no one else seems to feel the same way so you start to question your evaluation. It was the same way the year before with Jaden McDaniels. It was like what am I missing that is making him drop that far.

I was kinda low on McDaniels relative to his hype earlier in the process. But at pick #27? At worst, I would've been cool with it. The Dok pick broke everyone's brains, and despite doing vanishingly little in the NBA, he STILL makes the cut?

Alright, I'm here to run away from work. But here's my rose-colored assessment:

Sexton
NAW
THT
Gay
Dok

Will be a positively killer lineup.

If not any new trade comes, Butler, Lee and Johnson get the boot

All hail rjfan! I got two out of three in my initial post which probably puts me in a multiple way tie for second place.

And Bane is becoming second best player on the Grizzlies. We really dug our own grave the last couple of off seasons.

Exactly. Bane would’ve been a terrific addition. Hell, he might’ve even made Spida expendable tbh… the dude is a stud.

Btw, I watched part of the Cavs/Sixers game and I thought like Spida looked slower. Is it possible that he’s lost a step already?

After the preseason 'competition' they basically just ended up waiving the cheapest guys: Lee, Johnson, Butler, and partially guaranteed Zeller.

 

[campaignist]

It will be whoever it's cheapest to waive, since the contracts stay on the books. I'm guessing Butler, Johnson, Lee.

nailed it

Not really. Aaron Holiday is likely to be the primary backup pg.

Trent and Aaron can be on the floor together just like Trae and Murray. They can run the same exact two guard combo. One undersized offensive oriented PG plus one longer/more athletic defensive guard that lacks an outside shot. Coach doesn't even need to change anything to his playbook when he bring the subs on

You did nail it. These billionaire types don't get where they are by throwing away a million here or there. Guess it makes sense since this team isn't winning this season anyway.

I was hoping they would cut Gay but there was no way in hell that was happening on his current contract.

Two way tie for first with rjfan- well done sir! Extra credit for providing relevant context with the cheapest comment as well!

I made the same comment that I thought he’d lost a step after that game as well.

Kelly Tyler Olynyk hails from the Canadian colonial holding. Can we perhaps trade him to the settlement of Toronto, whose fans may be propelled by nationalist in-group sentiments?
