Good for CDR, tear it up

Great...Hope he sticks...He deserves another shot.

My favorite Memphis player all-time. Loved his game

Hope he can be a go-to scorer for them, without getting a big head about it

He's worked hard to get back to this point. Hope he stays steady with his play and his attitude.

buckets

10 day call up or full season deal?

I wished the Grizzlies would have signed him to help fill the void left by Pondexter.

Seriously dude. You must not know bball. How will that help the owners goal of moving the franchise?

Seems like his failures have humbled him some.

I tried to watch when he was with the Mavs last year (or the year before ) and saw most of most of his games. The first few, not just CDR but whoever on that 2nd group got the ball in the halfcourt set, it was getting shot. CDR had several of his "old man moves" shots and they did everything but go in. Had they gone it, people would have thought "Wow", instead they probably thought "ball hog". After a few games, that group started passing and trying to execute an offense and he looked alright. Maybe a little slow on D.

I was hoping he would stick and be a scorer on the 2nd unit, behind Dirk.
