Marreese Speights Has a Player Option

Re: Welcome Marreese Speights

Why did he have veto power on a trade?

And bigger question: does it apply to any trades from here on out?

Speights is a bench player, so we likely won't get any picks for him.

Jon Leuer says hi.

That first Round pick was for cap relief to get the grizz under the luxury

Ok, Ramon Sessions says hi

Re: Welcome Marreese Speights

I can't argue with that. Sessions was not a very good player.

If there's anyone on this team that could use a nickname, its Speights.

Mainly because typing out his name is a nightmare.

Call him Eye Chart.

Damn, he wants to be in Cleveland, and what are we gonna do, ship his ass back out. I mean, I know Speights isn't a bright guy, but I'm a little disappointed.

Perhaps our most talented offensive big man since the Lebron era... already. Still not sure that merits holding onto him if the package is right, but Grant definitely got some interesting pieces in the trade.

17 points off the bench tonight, this big guy is invaluable. Better get a ton for him if we are trading him away now....

Gotta dump sleights if you can get a 1st round pick. It's a no brainer.

Disagree, this year's draft looks extremely weak and Speights is only 25. Who is available at the end of the first round that can give you the size and athleticism this guy has....

Yes it's a no-brainer to dump Speights for a late first round pick who likely will never be as good as Speights is right now.

Re: Welcome Marreese Speights

This year's draft is awfully thin, especially when you're looking for a big man, I say just keep Speights, he's only 25 and has already shown something here!
