Losing "Bigs" is big

So my Grizzlies lost their point guard...

They lost a guy who does nothing but hit 3-pointers in the last minute of basketball games...

When I say 'nothing but' I don't mean he doesn't contribute to the game in other ways, only that the last two weeks, in crunch time, its been Damon Staudamire that comes up with a big shot (or 3) to win a game for the Griz.

Now, due to a "ruptured patella tendon" with a 6 month recovery time, It will be the oft-injured Bobby Jackson, an untested second year baller (Antonio Burks) and a rookie that has 5 pts in his career (Anthony Roberson) left to take over at the point guard spot.

I've seen some interesting names thrown around in regards to who could be traded for...Starbury (no thanks), Chucky Atkins (Yawn), Earl Watson (a fan favorite).

I have to say, the prospects of E-Wats return makes me smile. I love the guy. He plays unmatched defense, he is smart with the basketball, and the guy blossomed as a Griz the last few years. He didn't get the love he wanted from Memphis over the off season, and went to Denver thinking he'd be a part of a dynamic offense with Carmelo and Kenyan, but instead he spends his time talking to the waterboy at the end of the bench.

If he ends up in Memphis, we're probably not any better off than we are now, and E-Wats would have gotten the contract he wanted from the Griz in the first place (4 years of good money), and Memphis would have to give up something. In the end, I think we wait and see how things go with the Jackson-Burks-Roberson rotation, and make our move in a month.

If the team starts losing games, and its due to weak PG play, you can look for a trade sooner than later.

Lets Go Grizz!
