hope this holds true eventually

We'll definitely take that. We all know that we will have to draft well and make suave moves in the front office to be a contender. As of now, no heavy-hitting FAs are knocking our doors down. Love that this front office seems to get that. They're stashing picks away and using them for high ceiling guys. I love it!

absolutely. If we get two allstars in one draft it will all but match the history of the Grizzlies All Stars in one day. [ the Gasols both made it Marc 3x Pau once as a Grizzly+ Zach made it twice as a Grizzly] Never did we have two allstars in the same year

IF it turns out that we have 2 All Stars that were selected in this draft combined with a possible future All Star in JJJ from 2018, pair those 3 with the possible future picks and we could be a perennial post season contender with opportunity for more. That's exciting to think about.

I just hope they are all willing to stay here and build the future. I am afraid that we will see each of them heading to a big name market at the end of their rookie contracts.

Idk about that. Memphis and Tennessee is a great place to live in many respects.

You never saw Conley or Gasol rarin to bolt. We resigned AV and he could have gone elsewhere.

I think Ja stays here a long time.

JJJ will likely stay too, as he will probably want to grow with this young team.

We will be in a good position to keep all three and if we were to luck up and land James Wiseman via the draft...well there's your core for a long time.

I like what our front office is doing right now.
