I doubt that Google Translator is the most reliable way to get information. I'm not saying he does or doesn't care to play in Memphis, but there's any number of things that can get lost in translation.

He could easily have been trying to say that just because the Grizz have the #2 pick, doesn't mean they'll pick him. Let's not pile on the kid yet.

^^ Wasn't Moses Malone fairly successful when he first jumped from hs to pro? Or maybe it's my imagination.......

It hate it when players do this. It's like, "Who the **** are you?" The guy is only 18. He is barely growing hair on his nuts and he is trying to call the shots. **** him.

Memphis should just draft the **** and trade his rights for a good post player. Or just keep his draft rights for a couple years while he becomes even better while playing at Spain, and then trade his rights for someone better.

If I were them, I'd draft him, and trade him for another youthful player who contributes NOW.

If I was Griffin I would do the same thing in regards to the Clippers.

The Clippers are a $hitty Franchise, but at least he's playing in the Staples Center.

Lmao. How does he blow? Since you've seen him play and all.

Uninformed idiots are the funniest kind.

oh the horror · 06-01-2009, 08:51 AM

I see this kid as being a solid player, but not this mega superstar...and this situation certainly isnt helping his cause much either.

STelfair31 · 06-01-2009, 08:51 AM

watched him play..nothing spectacular about him. and his attitude about wanting to play pisses me off.

why the hell would anyone waste 6 mill of their own money to play for a cheap franchise and not get any opportunities to touch the basketball? we all know who dominates the ball in memphis. why do they need another pg after conley? if rubio goes there, i guarantee he doesnt play more than 16 mpg.

this is different from college players because they arent paying their way out of a 6 mill contract.
