Coming off the heels of a tremendous preseason performance from Quincy Pondexter in which he showed growth in his game, reports are beginning to surface that Q may indeed be the starting small forward for the Grizzlies come October 30th against the Spurs. But what will that mean for Tayshaun Prince, who according to Ron Tillery of the Commercial Appeal has yet to play this preseason due to a stomach bug?
There are rumors going around that ESPN are reporting that the Grizzlies are trying to trade the veteran Prince sometime through the season. Questions will be asked like, "why trade a guy who you got not even a year ago"? "why trade a guy who got you to the Western Conference Finals last year"? Trust me all fare questions to ask but the NBA is a business, Quincy is in his prime right now and has showed amazing growth this preseason. On the other half with Prince, he is 33 and in his last year under contract for the Grizzlies.
All will be answered soon when the NBA season tips off in 5 days! Grizz nation signing off!

ReplyDeleteI think Prince did a lot of good things defensively for us last year, but he kind of fell apart on offense against the Spurs. I sure hope we can get a draft pick or two out of him.
ReplyDeleteA "stomach bug"? Seriously? Those usually last a day, two at the most...we'll see what happens.
