X got a 2nd 10 day contract with Memphis.

bigappleram · Unread post by **bigappleram** » 8 years ago

Cha-Ching

likely gets him over 100K in NBA earnings in a month, prob 3x his earnings from 3 years in D League.

RhowdyRam02 · Unread post by **RhowdyRam02** » 8 years ago

As best I can tell he'll make $99,418 with these two ten day contracts. After this ten day contract Memphis has to sign him for the rest of the season or release him, they can't sign him to another ten day contract.

^ Good work if you can get it

I'd love to see X on the roster through end of the season.

SmartyBarrett · Unread post by **SmartyBarrett** » 8 years ago

Memphis is also on track to make the playoffs. I'm not sure how NBA playoff rosters work, but would be awesome to see X along for that ride, as well.

PeterRamTime · Unread post by **PeterRamTime** » 8 years ago

Read some article with the head coach of Memphis talking about X and he said that if he plays well enough he could become as valuable to them as a draft pick would. Develop him and all that
He's talented enough to be a back up PG for some one.
he's gotten better every year. From good d league PG to a d league all star PG and getting called up to the Grizzlies. Dunked on Paul Pierce.

Very inspiring....haven't heard that in a long time!

What a difference between Kennedy and the current bozos running for office.

They should be running......away

bigappleram · Unread post by **bigappleram** » 8 years ago

I still wonder why we ran so much offense for X.

Ramblinrose · Unread post by **Ramblinrose** » 8 years ago

Great for X. He's paid his dues in the D League for chump change and $100,000 is nice, more if he stays around the rest of the year. He dunked on Paul Pierce? Is that a big deal these days?

This is fantastic! If I wasn't already so tied to my signature I would make this mine right now.

2 of the remaining games for Memphis are against Golden State. Maybe Munford goes head to head with Stephen Curry.

You mean my picture???

I just saw that former Rhody player Chris Holm (You may remember he was the other big man who Baron booted because he had some deal going with Jon Clark's father) is the assistant DOBO with GW who is heading to the NIT finals. It's nice to see he had a good European career and is off to a good start in the coaching ranks.

I think with a ring, millions in the bank and a future spot in Springfield, Pierce is probably OK.

You are right!!!!
Here is an interesting view on the individual player performances last night from a Memphis writer:

http://www.grizzlybearblues.com/2016/3/ ... 2016-03-30
Grade: B
Xavier Munford: 12 min, 9 p, 3 r, 1 a, -1
Not bad, sir. A cool 9 points in a quarter of play is better output than we could expect from most 10 day guys. One gets the sense that Joerger likes him better than the other mercenaries we've brought in.

ramster · Unread post by **ramster** » 8 years ago

Interesting.........on one thread we have a dscussion about PC great guards with Dunn and Cotton in the mix.......then tonight Memphis inks a 10 day contract with Bryce Cotton while letting McCallumm go.
So Cotton and Munford will be competing for playing time.

Unread post by **SGreenwell** » 8 years ago

I think that per the 10-day rules, you can only extend a guy so many times before you have to give him a full contract for the year. (I think it's twice.) Unfortunately, Munford might get crowded out soon, since the Grizzlies extended Jordan Farmar for the year: http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/15105 ... est-season

Ramblinrose · Unread post by **Ramblinrose** » 8 years ago

I was hoping he'd stick the rest of the season. He's played well.

SmartyBarrett · Unread post by **SmartyBarrett** » 8 years ago

If Cotton is Munford's back-up, I would enjoy that.

Need to see one of these grizzly games!
I watched him in the d league and it's just incredible how much better he's gotten since Rhody. He's still getting better

I wonder how many other current NBA players would not have been able to make an A-10 All conference team (1st, 2nd, or 3rd) in college?

I think he was more than able, he just got hosed.

Yeah I think he was the A-10 scoring leader in his junior year and was the only reason we won a game and got hosed.
Maybe was second in scoring in the A-10. X got no respect from the A-10.

There were several Jim Harrick sightings at the Final Four. The consensus is that he looks healthy and happy. Oh what could have been?

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 8 years ago

Yup, CD.
I was thinking that yesterday, on the
17th anniversary of the dumbest mistake
in URI basketball history,
which was so compounded by an ever worse mistake
later in the month.

Ramblinrose · Unread post by **Ramblinrose** » 8 years ago

That day was devastating. And I never would have imagined no Dance for the next 17 years. Harrick's hiring changed the culture of URI basketball. Al was a good coach but never wanted to do the glad handing to promote the program. Harrick did a lot of that.
All of a sudden we were a national story with the chance to lure top 100 recruits here.
So typical URI ...lose Harrick and hire a guy who could come from a CYO team.
It still drives me nuts.
I don't ever expect to see a more accomplished coach here as Harrick. And one as incompetent as Jerry.

RIFan · Unread post by **RIFan** » 8 years ago

X with 34 min and 10 pts tonight. second on the team in minutes. But another loss for the Griz.

PeterRamTime · Unread post by **PeterRamTime** » 8 years ago

Grizzlies can't get any of these. Great to see X getting all that time.
Can't be a bad thing!
Was practically a starting NBA point guard tonight.

Xaviers minutes and points have been increasing. Good to see.

4-8 FG, 1-1 on 3PFG, 1-2 FT, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 turnovers, 2 steals for 10 points

Memphis lost their 6 straight game with 5 games to go. Memphis is in 5th place of the 8 teams to go to the playoffs
5 teams fighting for the last 4 spots
Memphis 41-36 (but with 6 straight losses)
Portland 41-37
Dallas 39-38
Utah 39-38
Houston 38-39

Memphis remaining schedule is very tough. Possible they could lose all 5.

Tuesday April 12 Los Angeles Clippers 48-28

Munford shooting 51% from the field, 55% from 3, and oddly enough, 50% from the free throw line.

Right, Munford is 6-11 on 3FGs and only 4-8 on FTs but it is how the team plays while he is running it that will be the key to whether he stays with 34 minutes per game. Memphis absolutely has to win some games and get to the playoffs. It's going to be tough.

Jordan Farmar and Tony Allen, the two starting guards, only played 14 minutes each. Munford and Vince Carter got the bulk of the Guard Minutes.
Farmer was 1-5 FG and 0-3 on threes
Allen was 5-8 FG and 0-2 on threes

Would love to see Munford and Carter starting next game
