I've got to be honest. This is the most active I have ever seen the Grizzlies in the off-season. GM Chris Wallace is making the great 1st impression around town to be sure. The Grizz wanted Oden/Durant like everybody else but so far............

 

 

--filled the need at PG by drafting Conley

 

-- filled the need at C through FA by siging Milicic (who should work at the 5 in the Iavaroni system)

 

-- Casey Jacobsen and Ander Brown signed who should be decent enough off the bench ( hey, Brown couldn't be any worse than Stromile Swift)

 

-- Now add a baller in Navarro who happens to be Gasol's best friend

 

 

There are a lot of questions with this team. How well/fast will Conley adapt to the NBA game playing the 1. Will Milicic finally blossom into the player the poeple thought he could be being drafted #2 in the 2003 draft or will go the way of Stromile Swift ( picked 2nd in the 2000 draft)? Granted Milicic is being paid a great deal more than Swift has ever or will ever make. If the Grizz were in the East I think you're possibly talking about a play-off team right now. In the West, however, I'm still not convinced. We'll wait and see how these guys develope but it has most definatly been a pleasant off-season.
