The Tayshaun Quandary: Point/Counterpoint

By jmay11 On May 23, 2013 · Add Comment · In May 2013

After two frustrating Western Conference Finals losses – albeit frustrating for different reasons – there has been a lot of chatter about whether it is time for Coach Hollins to remove Tayshaun Prince from the starting lineup in favor of reserve swingman Quincy Pondexter.

We have asked two members of the [...]

Summer League Musings

By Red Coleman On July 22, 2012 · 9 Comments · In July 2012

Like many NBA fans, I watch a lot of Summer League games. Unlike many of those fans, I don’t particularly like Summer League games. Hear me out though.

The Summer League (SL) is a showcase for promising rookies and second-year players already under contract, as well as free agents looking to secure a contract for themselves. As such, there is a certain need for players to do all they can to make themselves stand out from the crowd. When you [...]

Cunningham for Ellington Trade Nearing Completion?

By Red Coleman On July 17, 2012 · 14 Comments · In July 2012

According to multiple sources, the Grizzlies have been in talks with Ray Allen about bringing the free agent sharpshooter to Beale Street. Rumors have flown about the length and size of the contract, but that’s a secondary concern as far as I’m concerned. I don’t think they should grossly overpay for him, but given their limitations in what they could sign him to, that’s not really an issue. Whether it’s the full mid-level exception (MLE) or something smaller, 2 years [...]

3SOB Draft Spotlight: John Jenkins

By Red Coleman On June 26, 2012 · 3 Comments · In June 2012

With the draft quickly approaching, we here at 3 Shades of Blue figured it was time to start taking a closer look at the players that the Grizzlies might be interested in at their current draft position in the #25 spot. Now, through multiple conversations over the past few years with Grizzlies’ VP Chris Wallace, we have a pretty good idea of what he’s looking for when it comes to evaluating talent — especially late in the first round. The [...]
