How protected of a first round pick would you give up for Jeff Green?
Taylor Smith (@TaylorBojangles): Can we go with a top-30 protection? Yeah, we’ll go with that.
Ian Levy (@HickoryHigh): I wouldn’t even give up a nose-pick for Jeff Green.
Dan Favale (@danfavale): I’m irrationally insulted by the hypothetical that I or anyone else not named Doc Rivers would be trying to trade for Jeff Green at all.
Ryne Prinz (@ryneprinz): Oh, you mean potential All-Star Jeff Green? No thanks.
Ian Dougherty (@IanDougherty): I would happily trade your first round pick for Jeff Green. Not mine, though.
Matt Cianfrone (@Matt_Cianfrone): Top-55 protected seems safe. That way I am still covered if the league adds new teams or something.
What Grizzlies lineup do you most want to see play before the end of the season?
Smith: Lance-Hairston-Allen-Barnes-Birdman. ALL OF THE COMBUSTIBILITY.
Levy: Lance. Just one-on-five all the time.
Favale: Lance-Allen-JaMychal-ZBo-Birdman, because screw floor spacing, right?
Prinz: Lance-Jordan Adams-The Grindfather-JaMychal Green-Birdman. Lance can and will get all of the buckets.
Dougherty: I just want to see Lance waive off Mike Conley to break off the offense and iso and then have the camera get a close up of Conley’s reactions.
Cianfrone: Mario Chalmers-Lance-Tony Allen-Matt Barnes-Zach Randolph. I just want to see how the other team would react with all that crazy on the floor at one time.
Which new teammate should Lance have a reality TV show with?
Smith: I’ll say Tony Allen. Then again, Tony Allen could have a reality TV show with anyone and I’d watch.
Levy: Zach Randolph. I feel like his maturity could help everything in the realm of harmless shenanigans, cheeky and fun.
Favale: Mike Conley. He can teach Lance how to properly shop for wooden bow ties and sweater vests.
Prinz: Birdman and Born Ready. I’m tearing up just thinking about it.
Dougherty: Mario Chalmers. Just to see how Chalmers handles being someone else’s mentor.
Cianfrone: Tony Allen. The more Tony Allen we have on camera the better.
Which Grizzly should fear for his safety at this point?
Smith: Probably Mario Chalmers. All of these big personalities need someone to yell at, you know.
Levy: Mr. Joerger. Going to need to start doing some morning yoga or something to relieve all that stress.
Favale: Marc Gasol. The Grizzlies’ new mix of personalities has coax-Marc-back-into-a-Big-Mac-exclusive-diet potential.
Prinz: Lance, because I’ll give him six games before he inevitably annoys ZBo.
Dougherty: JaMychal Green. I know you’re a neutral observer, just don’t get caught up in any cross-fire.
Cianfrone: Mario for sure. Everyone seems to love yelling at him except now the Grizzlies have guys that are crazy enough to take things way beyond yelling.
Does Lance in Memphis work out?
Smith: The basketball part? No. Every other part? Yes.
Levy: No. It does not.
Favale: There’s a better chance Kevin Durant signs with the Grizzlies in free agency.
Prinz: I love Lance, but Memphis doesn’t seem like a great fit.
Dougherty: If zero teammate fights come as a result of this, then it worked out. So…maybe?
Cianfrone: For us? Yes. For the Grizzlies? No.
