***Tony Wroten had another nice game as the Grizzlies destroyed the Nets in a 101-77 rout. He scored a career-high 11 points on 5-9 from the floor, including this monstrous alley-oop poster dunk over Kris Humphries. The 19-year-old rookie’s aggressiveness has been very impressive to this point — he committed a pair of consecutive turnovers upon entering this game, but refused to let that rattle him.

At this point he has a tendency only to go left (and finish left even when he goes right), but at his young age he’s got plenty of time to add a right hand. He’ll be forced to do so when opponents begin to catch on.
***Have you ever noticed that nobody doesn’t like John Wall? Plenty of people doubt that he’ll live up to his draft position, and that’s obviously understandable, but it seems to me that every fan, blogger, and analyst desperately wants John Wall to realize his ful...

So it’s premature, to me, to throw Pierce’s name up there with Rudy Gay and Pau Gasol on the list of high-profile names available this trade season, even though we’ve heard more than one rival team speculate — given that the Celtics and Grizzlies, sources say, have indeed held some exploratory trade talks since Gay hit the market — that a three-way deal where Pierce lands...
