Tayshaun Prince likely headed to Boston.
- Thread starter Son_Of_Saul
- Start date
Boston loves Kentucky guys. Since the Pitino era alone, all of these guys logged minutes for the Celtics...
Antoine Walker
Walter McCarty
Ron Mercer
Tony Delk
Wayne Turner
Keith Bogans
Rajon Rondo
James Young
Tayshaun Prince
Sad for Tayshaun but Memphis had to upgrade their wing position to get really serious in the West, Pondexter and an Older Prince weren't cutting it... I wouldent be surprised to see him retire soon
I think this might be the last season for Prince and Mohammed. Tayshaun is still contributing as a role player, but you've got to wonder if it's worth coming back next year for him to make 1/7th what he's making right now.
I know someone in the PR dept of the Grizz
Since cal has arrived at UK The Grizz have worked out Bledsoe, patterson, meeks, goodwin, Teague, lamb, liggins, jones, young
She said that they had heavy interest in bledsoe, young, meeks and patterson. But front office didn't think it was a good idea to have a UK player for revenue from backlash from fans.
Every time wall, cousins especially. But any UK player is introduced they get booed

Interesting tidbit, thanks for the share, not really surprising, I figure not winning would hurt you're bottom line more than having a UK guy but I guess not... However it Obviously has not hurt memphis any as they have been a fixture in the Wild West and a perennial playoff team, they are seemingly a very solidly run organization
I,agree ...they are a blue collar team. They take pride in it. I really thought bledsoe or patterson was coming here their rookie years. Then they worked out meeks multiple times after he left the lakers but decided to,go,elsewhere
It sucks the idiot Celtics won't just release Prince so he can get on with a contender for the rest of this season. He can be a valuable contributor off the bench in the right situation.
I don't see Prince being very happy in Boston, although maybe be just takes on the mentor role and thrives in it... I wish he would take James Young under his wing and teach that guy everything he knows about Defense
That would be ideal. James Young said he grew up watching Tayshaun Prince when he was with the Pistons, and said Prince was his favorite Wildcat.
I get what you're saying, but.....the article said his current deal is $7.7 million (annually I presume). A seventh of that is a little over a million. Surely someone could be bothered to play a game for a few month in exchange for a million dollars! Heh
I'm afraid you are right about Prince. Seems like we've seen him fading for the past few seasons and that's kind of sad as I've always had a soft spot for Prince. He played so well at UK and made all of us proud of him, also seems like such a stand up guy too. But, players come and go and they, like all of us, age - some just quicker than others. Still, a great career for him and he does have that ring. Hopefully, he'll hang on a few more seasons as a role player and still collect a nice check.
