Your Memphis Grizzlies Basketball Thread III

Biggest issue with Memphis is one little storm can bring widespread outages, unless you're in the burbs.

I work at mlgw. Anytime you have overhead powerlines in neighbkrhoods, you will have outages with the slightest weather. Why? Because tree limbs fall. Most of Memphis has the overhead lines. Its just as bad everywhere else
 
VC named one of the best FA signings

Vince Carter, Memphis Grizzlies | Age: 37

Contract: Three years, $12M | AAV: $4M

2013-14 value: 8.3 WAR | Expected AAV: $7.8M

Annual surplus value: +$3.8M


When it was clear Mike Miller would take his talents to Cleveland, the Grizzlies went out and found a veteran 3-point shooter to replace him. Carter has quietly aged into one of the NBA's most valuable role players on both ends of the floor. The Grizzlies managed to get him at clearance price. Carter is old, but the Grizzlies did their homework on Hall of Fame wings who were still playing at Carter's age and found the drop-off wasn't as steep as one would expect (think Reggie Miller and Grant Hill). Carter was a strong contributor on both ends of the floor as a Mav and will fit seamlessly in Memphis. Jodie Meeks received $7 million more than Carter. I'd rather have Carter and his 8.3 WAR.

That was kind of my point. The city of Memphis has those issues. Wasn't really taking a jab at MLGW.

East Memphis and midtown are both pretty bad.
