i dont agree with the notion of memphis being a terrible team, after seeing them play through preseason they remind me of the chicago bulls from the past two years, the players scrap,play defense and show tremendous heart, once they get gasol back they will be even better

no, they sck. if they win 25 games this year it will be through a miracle. I would put a lot of money that they end the season has one of the 5 worst teams in the league. I don't take their comeback to seriously--we stopped playing +20 and on the road when you stop playing you are susceptible to get pounced on by momentum when you let up. Thats why I wasnt really bothered that they COULVE easily lost what wouldve been a heartbraker +--because they really dominated play for the most part. they were lucky to comeback.

many of us on this board have remained optimistic but not entirely enthralled w/Channing since he got here... he has some very noticeable weaknesses in his game... the 1 thing everyone loved was his perimeter shooting ability, but since late last season & all throughout summer leagues, his shooting touch has been very inconsistent to say the least... i've said from the time he was drafted that i wouldn't mind trading him if it was for a piece that could improve our team... if we can get an athletic shotblocking stud like Josh Smith for him i make the trade... that doesn't mean i think Frye's garbage based on 1 bad game to start the season... the fact that i think he has good value is the reason i would be open to trading him if it could improve the team going forward.
