Adonis Thomas and Elliot Williams playing the Grizz right now in Memphis
Just FYI--on Sportsouth if you want to watch. No idea if Thomas will get any time but Williams has already seen the floor in the 1st.

Thaddeus Young also in town. Tony Wroten coming back to play against the team that traded him. James Varnado is also getting minutes for the 76ers - he's about 45 mins away/outside of Memphis.

Sat next to Thad's dad tonight. Talked to him for a while. From what he said it seems Thad is VERY unhappy in Philly. Hopes to get out as soon as possible but still has 2 years left on his deal.

Can't imagine why he would be upset in Philly, LOL.
EW had a decent game last night: 29 min, 13 points, 4 assists.
Adonis only got 8 minutes and finished with 4 points.

RE: Adonis Thomas and Elliot Williams playing the Grizz right now in Memphis
on a somewhat related topic......
ESPN - Will Barton's Future with Blazers
The Portland Trail Blazers signed Will Barton, the No. 40 pick in the 2012 NBA draft, to a three-year contract. Next season's salary of $915,243 is not guaranteed unless he's on the roster beyond 5 PM Eastern on July 31. Barton prefers to stay with the Blazers, but knows GM Neil Olshey may let him go to look at other options.
“I try not to think about it as much but I do sometimes," Barton tells CSNNW.com. “You just never know what people are thinking. Hopefully I make it past the deadline. I would love to stay here and be here. But, you just never know. I’m just going to keep doing what I’m doing. Portland took a chance on me. It would be huge if I can stay in Portland. But like I said, it’s a business and I’m aware of that. You just never know."
Barton has actually got some run from Terry Stotts since mid-March and the head coach likes what he has seen.
“Will is more in control this season," Stotts said. "He has come a long ways and you have to give him all the credit for working hard and staying ready. It’s not an easy thing to do for young players."
In the last five games Barton is averaging 9.8 minutes, 4.6 points (50 percent from the floor) and 1.8 rebounds.

We could really use Thad on the Grizz. Perfect fit. WB could work too

Thank you for this update. I watch Will almost every game....A Will-sighting with fun stuff is a humongous lift to the team, the home crowd..and to me actually. No one has any more enthusiasm for the game than Will the Thrill.
From the looks of the daps and cheers, his teammates like him too. Portland is a good town, imo, but only if the coach plays him. Just thinking of Will. Interesting that he is committing to them. The fans will love that.

I do too, with the right contract terms. That pesky salary cap...

WB would have absolutely no place on the Grizzlies IMO.
