Grizzlies pick up Tony Wroten off waivers from Knicks!
What the heck is going on? I guess they feel Wroten can help them on the wing? This was just reported by ESPN.

Wallace drafted Wroten. It might be a sign Born Ready's option will be declined.

The guy put up some numbers on a horrible Sixers team and my recollection was that he was extremely inefficient in doing so.

I'm okay with the signing, just hope he's the 8th or 9th guy in the rotation, not the 6th.

make that 10, 11 or 12th man in the rotation if the team is serious about trying to win.

True this ^^^

There is a reason people get waived by the Knicks. THE KNICKS!

The Knicks were probably trying to open up cap space. Wroten's contract wasn't fully guaranteed if waived by certain dates. In addition, he's recovering from an ACL tear.

I hate this move. I don't understand it...he's a PG, not a 2. Can't shoot and shouldn't get PT over Baldwin.

Not sure he's what we need as a 3rd PG either - but we'll see.

He's cheap. He's big. He's young. Obviously Chris Wallace believes in him. He got numbers on a bad team, but obviously he has talent. It's a low risk high reward gamble. Wroten is only partially guaranteed for 2016-17.

You make it sound like that makes this more acceptable. That fact actually makes it worse..........THE KNICKS felt like Tony Wroten wasn't even worthy to be a backup point guard on their roster.........
