lots of first round picks involved for these players....I wouldn't trade a first rounder for Brandan Wright but it's a nice get for the Suns. Grizzlies receive an inefficient Jeff Green...they get younger and more athletic so you just need Jeff to buy in defensively and not chuck as much and this could work out fairly well for Memphis.

That first rounder is a protected one coming from Minny - two years protected 1-12 before it turns into two second rounders. With Minny on the rebuild, it will probably end up being the second rounders when all is said and done.
Looks like they haven't actually come to an agreement on this one yet. Sounds like there will be a first involved for Boston eventually assuming it gets done.

what I like about Memphis...regardless how small Phoenix went...they stuck with their bigs and kept punishing them inside, it must be great to have an identity and not let your opponent dictate your scheme. In other words, Atlanta chewed up and spit out Washington today, my god total domination. An Atlanta/Toronto ECF would be pretty fun to watch I must admit.

Windhorst on ESPN just now: “I think the players were trying to force the franchise to make a move, and I don’t know if it was conscious…

“...but their play was dictating that. And they went so far as to tell opposing players that they were trying to get their coach fired..."

“…again this is not unheard of in the league. This has happened before. But that was what was going on.”
Wow. Stay classy, Cleveland.

Very unpleasant situation for Blatt.
I assume, that back when he was signing with the Cavs, he couldn't even know for sure that LeBron and Love would decide to bring their talents to Cleveland. He probably considered this as a good opportunity for starting his head coaching career in the NBA with a young team, with freedom of action and a time to develop. Instead, Blatt received a poorly constructed roster and the biggest superstar in the league, who seems to want to run the whole show by himself (when there is no Pat Riley to control the things).

I don't think that Blatt has really proven that he's a bad coach. I do think that he's not accustomed to coaching a forty-eight minute game, and it's shown in some of his rotations.
I find myself persuaded by the coverage, though: the fact that Blatt was hired before LeBron James decided to go back to Cleveland raises signals to me. As Woogie mentioned, he went from having a young team to develop, with all the time in the world, to having a team with immediate title aspirations, and no patience at all, in the blink of an eye. Kind of a ****ty situation to find yourself in.
