It's Clear what the Grizzlies are doing here...

This is a clear plan for the Memphis Grizzlies if you're 18 to 23 years old come and join the team if you're anybody That's close to 30 or 30 and beyond Start packing your bags At least that's from one report from one NBA reporter from Yahoo Sports about one of the Grizzlies veterans That hasn't even stepped foot on the court yet, and it looks like he's already going to be moved. What's going on everybody? Thanks for tuning in another episode of Grizzlies digest for your Grizzlies news and updates For all your everything Grizzlies related. I'll have a little message for you at the end of just to kind of spice things up well, we're kind of in a little bit of a dead period in terms of NBA content, but we do have plenty of NBA content here still talk about and that's the fact that we're gonna go over What the plans are for? veteran point guard D'Angelo Russell, but first this video is Sponsored by price pigs play $5 get $50 instantly in lineups You use the code digest pop the link in the description below as well as a pin comment in the description below America's number one sports fix app still plenty of MLB action some WNBA action if you're in any of that But hey, I mean certainly plenty of things to look forward to here on prize fix once again We thank you so much to the folks at prize fix for sponsoring this video Now we have a report at least it's a report This is the only valid reasonable report that we've gotten from Yahoo! Sports and that came from Kelly Itko and That's yeah from Yahoo! Sports And he says D'Angelo Russell is not believed to be a long-term piece and Memphis with both sides expected to work together Toward a resolution that would allow the 30 year old to find a new home at some point this offseason Whether via via via a buyout agreement or trade Now My thing with it is I'm not Totally opposed to that now. It feels like though. There's a clear direction in which the Memphis Grizzlies are going in and look, I'm I would be all for D'Angelo Russell on this basketball team now, is he gonna be the Sexiest point guard out there in the NBA. No, obviously not but I think the best way to describe him would be Is a boom-or-bust Fantasy football player That would probably be the best way that I could describe him if you have any other Comparisons or examples that you feel like are better Please leave them in the comments down below But I feel like that's kind of the best way to describe him is that if he's really up in his shooting He's really hot shooting the basketball. He's gonna be really hot shooting the basketball, but if he's One for three then one for six and one for nine from deep chances are it's only gonna get worse and Sometimes that can bring a whole team down, but I don't think that's really what's going on here. I don't think it's about D'Angelo Russell's his Skill or his play or anything all that. I think it's this simply has to do with the fact that Memphis is Just going in a younger direction and that's exactly what I said at the beginning of the video if you just graduated high school If you're overseas in the United States, you're one-and-done player Air you're just getting out of college eight Like I said 18 to 23 year olds come and join the team. We're gonna develop you in ways that we are Going to expand we're gonna develop you in ways that you didn't even think about yourself so This is a clear direction for the Memphis Grizzlies that they are going very young and they're not stopping anytime soon We're gonna put out more examples about that later on in this video But this is another piece or a continued piece from Kelly. It goes Article Russell's timeline an experienced player with over 30 playoff games simply doesn't align with a rebuilding Grizzlies Franchise seeking a young develop develop. Excuse me develop mental talent. I don't understand why I can't talk today centered around a core of a Cedric Coward Zach Edie and a recent number three pick Cameron Boozer That's your new big three Right. I mean it now the exception is for KCP apparently who's on one of the weirdest contracts on this team But I don't really think it matters because I don't think he's gonna be back by this time next season or net this time next year, but also Taj Gibson who's 40 Good locker room presence, but I mean, you know, we'll have a couple of exceptions every now and then but This is a clear identification of what the Grizzlies are gonna look like now What did it say in the first part of the nugget? Let's go back to it. It said Via a buyout agreement or trade now. I don't necessarily know What you would get for that? Are you just going for another second round pick another future second round pick? Are you going for someone who? You're just trying to get rid of via buyout agreement because the Memphis Grizzlies apparently they have 21 guys Right now that they really Need to cut down Like you need to cut that down to 15, right? So This is kind of just clearing out some room Because like I said, we got a good problem It's a problem but it's a good problem to have this many guys that you're trying to get rid of or just trying to throw in the G League full time, but you know, this is a clear direction of where the Grizzlies are going and they're not making any secrets about it and They didn't make any secrets about it whenever they got rid of this guy, right? Didn't start with him started with Desmond Bain, but this was kind of the end of the 2018-2019 Group that stayed for a long time Brendan Clark rest in peace Jared Jackson, Desmond Bain John conchar Titus Jones Steven Adams Dylan Brooks. I mean that that's kind of the core that I always think about whenever we talk about You know kids growing up with this Grizzlies team and now they're already growing up with a new generation of Excitement. I still think people should be excited about this team. But again, this goes beyond D'Angelo Russell leaving Okay, so this was from ESPN's Ben Goliver who? Had an article on ESPN with the biggest takeaways for every NBA team this what he had to say about the Memphis Grizzlies Merant were out as welcome and sabotages trade value with his off-court behavior and lack of availability in recent years I still can't talk today for some reason earlier this month the two-time all-star argued that his past actions including two Weapon-related Suspensions, I don't want to get YouTube banned. So I'm not gonna say it shouldn't continue to define him Moran said I've done what I've done in the past, but it's been addressed and handled already I don't see why years later. That's still the topic when nothing's happened since You're right, but you're just not playing basketball. There you go Portland was willing to take a fire on Moran But only after Memphis decided he had been given enough second chances on Moran's departure leaves a big hole at point guard Which I completely agree. I don't think it does Nineteen-year-old forward Cameron Boozer relies heavily Man appears ready to step in as the next face of the Grizzlies franchise The number three pick lived up to his reputation as reliable and versatile leader by helping Memphis advance to the summer league championship game Glad I got through that but still I can't talk to that. So We're going in a new direction even if you're in your mid-twenties Are you even welcome on this team anymore? I mean that's not to say it's a bad thing if you're Zach Kleiman but I Mean, it's pretty easy to see look we got to get rid of guys. I give her to older guys We know where we're going. We know which Direction this team's going in for the future and it even continued here in the summer With Santiago now, I think that the return was Not bad, but I thought could have been better. You got AJ Johnson in this trade, right? So AJ Johnson still a young kid 21 year old kid still trying to figure it out Really hasn't played a whole bunch of summit. Excuse me significant minutes at all in his young NBA career, but You know, we'll see what happens But again, hey, he's a 21 year old kid and the Santiago is Like what 25 26? I mean still so if you're 26 years old, you're too old to play for the Memphis Grizzlies Now Taj Gibson and KCP apparently they're the exceptions but D'Angelo Russell. I would have liked to see him get a chance I mean, he's he's not an awful Player, I mean anybody who thinks that's the case. I mean, I Completely disagree now, does he have this off moments? Yeah, and he has a lot of them, but I would have liked to see him in a Memphis Grizzlies uniform But apparently this is the direction they're going. I don't feel ill will toward it, but this is just as to say as a neutral voice of The host of Grizzlies digest to what they're trying to do. That's what they're trying to do. I don't really have a Complete positive opinion about it or negative opinion about it But that's why y'all are here in the comment section down below.
