Memphis willing to part with Gasol, Conley

Tempting.. we would probably have to take Parsons off their hands too if we want to make them happy..

maybe Batum, Biz and Frank + 1st round pick?

I feel like another team could easily beat that package and we lose out.. not that we need Gasol or that he would be a perfect fit to pair with Kemba, but just thinking out loud.. Thoughts?

I would like it depending on what is given up. No Miles.

Rumor was we offered Batum, Monk and a 1st.  No idea how accurate that is but getting rid of Batum would be huge. Seems like we would need to move one of our other centers though since we would then have four.

Batum + Monk = Drummond
yep.. im for anything that gets a proven Allstar caliber player to help Kemba..

PLUS - we need defense.. our offense has been really good this year.. Drummond is an elite rebounder and can put in 15-20 pts @ night if he wants to..

I'm not thrilled with throwing in a 1st rounder though.. maybe we can send some of the stockpile of 2nd rounders we have??

 

 

hey.. woulda been nice if we just drafted Drummond instead of Zeller, huh!?

    • Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
