Bonzi Wells Now A Grizzlie

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Kid Canada:</div><div class="quote_post">They got rid of a headcase. Now Woods can play more. They have Anderson who is pretty good too. The first round pick will really help but we dont know the details on it.</div>

your signature font is too big. i'm not sure if anyone told you but i figured i would... since i got yelled because mine was that size too. it's only fair.

Holy moster trade Batman! Bonzi finally gets shipped..

This sucks that Bonzi is gone, he was one of my favorites on the Blazers.

Memphis got the better end of the deal IMO.

He Sheed and Mouse were my favorite trio. Purehoops, one of the site's best designers, made me the sig seen below in honor of Wells.

Thanks for the memories Bonzi.

Won't have to wait long for Blazer fans to see him.The two teams meet on sunday.

Wow, this makes Memphis a little stronger. Only for Wesley Person and a 1st round pick? I think they could have gotten something more back. I know his stock fell, but I would think there was a better offer out there somewhere.

 

[jbbKing James]

I would not be so sure of that.

This is a "wait and see" deal.

This is just a quick note that the Grizzlies have protection if the draft pick this year ends up to be in the top three. If it is the Blazers will get the Grizzlies pick in 2005 unless it is the number one pick.

Okay I am a huge blazer fan and I don't favor either side of this trade. I mean I know we got rid of Bonzi for chemistry reasons and the fact he's a jackass. I wouldn't want a guy on my team that is yelling at the coach. Also he has obviously decreased in points by 5 points a game and I think it was right to ship him out. Grizzlies obviously got a talent boost but that 1st round pick could come back to haunt them. But knowing the Blazers we will draft some ******** player and blow the best part of the trade (the pick). I also like the fact we have a shooter now, Sheed was probably our best 3 point shooter before Person and I don't think the PF should be the go to perimeter guy, I think he should be banging down low in case of a miss. I think this will work out for us quite well.

Keep in mind that many Blazers have decreased their ppg due to Randolph's breakout.

Yelling at coaches isn't the issue. It's the fact that he did so publicly, and with much vulgarity.

BTW, great to see yet ANOTHER Blazers fan on the site!! Come by the Blazers forum sometime

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting deestillballin:</div><div class="quote_post">Like the good man said on ESPN.. I wouldnt trade with Jerry West, because he always knows something that we dont.</div>

Those were my exact thoughts. West is a man with a plan, and i think he'll make good use of Bonzi.

I think the pick will be late lottery, so this is great for the Blazers also...

So Bonzi is gone..i hope he gets his **** together and becomes the star player he has shown he can be..i guess it goes to show just how low his stock dropped and they must have said "lets get him out before it drops any more"..is that a sign of weakness?..the only problem i had with the deal is i wanted a starter and Person isnt good enough to hold down a starting spot..the best i can see from Person is the 3 from the bench..IF we can get the 4th pick next year mybe the deal dont look so bad but why give up this year so early..this move should just be the first..i wouldl ike to see 1 or 2 more fresh faces before deadline and if that happens lets make sure its a step up from the deal just made..we better beat the Grizz...1
