grizzlies have a load of talent, and those players will soon be asking for money when their contracts expire. They will not let swift walk for nothing, they will combine all their talent like mike miller, swift , and jayson williams for AI.....just setting an example
they will determine who they want to keep on with them for their future then trade the others as assets for a star player in return. if anyone is moronic anough to sign swift to the midlevel exception, the grizzlies will match because he is a restricted free agent. remember ricky davis a couple years back, he was matched by the cleveland cavs and couldnt make it to the Wolves.
As much as hubie brown likes this uptempo style player with high energy and a large rotation, it wont work forever, because the talent he has on his roster will be hungrily seeking for more money, remember they are seeking their first big contracts....
they have jerry west, they are certainly smart enough to look for an all star talent in return to what they can offer...draft picks and skilled players that are possibly gonna be offered contracts too i expect a grizzlies to talk to teams about tmac, AI, maybe even dampier(not a star, but a legit center is hard to find)
grizzlies currently have posey, miller, battier, and wells which player at the same positions they drafted 2 pgs last year and have jason williams and watson they have swift, big jake ,bo outlaw, playing the 5
they are a complete team already, look forward for them to upgrade their players in the positions, but it seems like gasol will remain part of the glue for now...
