Los Angeles Clippers and Memphis Grizzlies Swap Lance Stephenson and Jeff Green

On February 18th, 2016, the Los Angeles Clippers traded guard-forward Lance Stephenson and a 2019 first round draft pick (Matisse Thybulle) to the Memphis Grizzlies for forward Jeff Green.

The Memphis Grizzlies were always in search of a wing. The team had a trusted trio in center Marc Gasol, point guard Mike Conley and power forward Zach Randolph. But the team always seemed to lack a small forward that could space the floor, score and defend.

Looking to add talent, the Grizzlies acquired forward Jeff Green from the Boston Celtics in a three-team deal also involving the New Orleans Pelicans. The hope was that he could fill in that role as a scorer on the wing.

Green played 45 games after being traded to Memphis. He managed 13.1 PPG, 4.2 RPG, 1.8 APG, 0.6 SPG and 0.5 BPG in 30.2 MPG. Green quickly became a starter after coming off the bench initially. The Grizzlies continued to win after acquiring Green, taking 15 of the next 18 games to reach 41-14. Memphis was one of the top teams in the NBA, finishing the season with a 55-27 record.

In the 2015 playoffs, Memphis was in fifth place and battled the fourth seed Portland Trail Blazers. The Grizzlies had homecourt advantage because they had a better overall record than the Blazers (51-31).

Portland had numerous injuries going into the playoffs. Starting two guard Wesley Matthews was out for the season after rupturing his achilles tendon in early March. Trade deadline acquisition Arron Afflalo had a shoulder injury and stars LaMarcus Aldridge and Nicolas Batum had thumb and wrist ailments respectively.

The Grizzlies had an early double digit lead in the first quarter of Game One and led by as much as 29 points in a 100-86 win. Game Two saw Memphis hold the Blazers to 39% shooting in an easy 97-82 victory.

In the third contest, the Grizzlies continued to have control. Memphis led by double digits for most of the game, including 14 points late in the third quarter. Portland brought the deficit down to three points late in the fourth, but Memphis held on for a 115-109 win.

The Grizzlies took a 3-0 series lead but suffered misfortune when point guard Mike Conley had a facial fracture near his left eye in the game. He would miss the rest of the first round.

Memphis was headed to a sweep after taking a ten-point lead with 8:48 left in the fourth quarter of Game Four. Portland recovered, going on a 29-12 run to take the game 99-92 and avoid a sweep. In Game Five, the duo of Gasol and Courtney Lee combined for 46 points as Memphis won 99-93. In the five-game matchup, Green struggled, shooting 26.9% while averaging 9.2 PPG, 5.6 RPG, 1.6 APG and 0.8 BPG in 25.3 MPG.

The Grizzlies battled the number one seed Golden State Warriors in the next round. With Conley still out at the start of the series, Golden State took Game One easily 101-86. Conley returned for Game Two. He had 22 points as Memphis evened the series 1-1 with a 97-90 victory.

In Memphis, the Grizzlies got a combined 43 points and 23 rebounds from Randolph and Gasol in Game Three. They led for much of the game, winning 99-89.

Facing a 2-1 series deficit and MVP Stephen Curry struggling from the field, the Warriors regrouped, making an adjustment. Golden State had center Andrew Bogut defend guard and limited shooter Tony Allen. The move gummed up Memphis' offense, clogging the paint.

Curry had 33 points in Game Four as Golden State won in a 101-84 rout. The Warriors led by 17 points after three quarters in Game Five and held on for a 98-78 win. Curry had 32 points and 10 assists in Game Six as Golden State cruised to a 108-95 victory, eliminating the Grizzlies in six games. During the second round loss, Green managed just 8.7 PPG on 39.3% from the field, 4.0 RPG, 1.8 APG and 0.5 SPG in 28.6 MPG.

After Memphis' second round loss, the club added forward Matt Barnes in an offseason trade with the Charlotte Hornets. The Grizzlies also added center Brandan Wright as a free agent. Green had a chance to test free agency but exercised his $9.2 million player option to stay in Memphis.

The Grizzlies had a rough start to the 2015-16 season, dropping the season opener to the Cleveland Cavaliers by 30 points. Then, there was the 119-69 drubbing at the hands of the Golden State Warriors three games later.

The Grizzlies were just 3-6 after nine games but won 8 of the next 10 to rise to 11-8. Memphis hovered around .500 for much of the next month and a half before a 12-4 stretch brought the team to 31-22 at the All-Star break. Around that time, center Marc Gasol suffered a fractured right foot which would keep him out for the rest of the season.

With the 2016 offseason looming, the Grizzlies knew two key free agents in Courtney Lee and Green would be hard to re-sign. Instead of facing the prospect of losing both players, the Grizzlies dealt Lee to the Charlotte Hornets on February 16 and subsequently sent Green to the Los Angeles Clippers at the trade deadline buzzer on February 18.

Green was in and out of the Memphis starting lineup during 2015-16. The forward played in 53 games (31 starts), compiling 12.2 PPG, 4.5 RPG, 1.8 APG and 0.8 SPG in 29.1 MPG.

Green continued his routine of enticing teams with jaw-dropping athleticism and scoring ability but in the same breath frustrating them with below average three-point shooting and inconsistent play. His lack of outward passion frustrated teammates on the Grizzlies.

Memphis had a better net rating when Green was off the floor versus when he was on in both seasons. But still, Green did have his moments like a game-winner against the Phoenix Suns in December 2015.

In 98 games with the Grizzlies, Green contributed 12.6 PPG, 4.4 RPG, 1.8 APG and 0.7 SPG. In that time, the forward shot 43% from the field, 34% from the three-point line and 81% from the free-throw line.

Lance Stephenson joined the Los Angeles Clippers when he was acquired in a trade with the Charlotte Hornets for Matt Barnes and Spencer Hawes.

Stephenson was coming off a disappointing season in Charlotte. It was the first season of a brand new three-year, $27 million deal with a team option in the final year. Stephenson failed to blend in with Hornets star Kemba Walker on offense and struggled.

With the Clippers, there was hope for him to resuscitate his career as a defender who could bring extra ball-handling and toughness to the Clippers rotation. If not, the Clippers could cut bait and move on.

Stephenson's acquisition was a piece of a Clippers retool around the edges. Core pieces like Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan and Chris Paul remained, but the Clippers tried to shore up the supporting cast. The team signed forward Josh Smith and guard Pablo Prigioni from the Houston Rockets. It also re-signed guard Austin Rivers and agreed to deals with Paul Pierce, Wesley Johnson and Cole Aldrich.

Initially, Stephenson started at small forward for the first nine games, but his minutes eventually started to wildly fluctuate. First, he played just one minute and 42 seconds in a win against the Detroit Pistons despite the Clippers playing without starting backcourt players Chris Paul and JJ Redick.

Stephenson then received a DNP-coach's decision from head coach Doc Rivers the next game against the Golden State Warriors. He played just under 19 minutes of action as a starter against Portland the next game. That would be his last start as a Clipper.

His minutes continued to fluctuate and he largely struggled with the Clippers, registering just 4.7 PPG, 2.5 RPG, 1.4 APG and 0.7 SPG in 43 contests and 15.8 MPG before he was traded at the 2016 trade deadline. The Clippers were 35-18 when they decided to trade Stephenson.

The deal happened minutes before the trade deadline, with Memphis and the Clippers swapping Green and Stephenson. The Clippers also sent Memphis a protected first round pick.

After the trade, Green joined a Clippers team missing a star forward Blake Griffin. The All-Star was out with a partially torn left quad and a fractured hand. Green was set to help add depth to the frontcourt.

At 35-18 at the trade deadline, the Clippers went 18-11 the rest of the way to finish fourth in the West with a 53-29 record. Green appeared in 27 games (10 starts) and amassed 10.9 PPG, 3.4 RPG, 1.5 APG, 0.7 SPG and 0.9 BPG in 26.3 MPG.

Heading into the 2016 postseason, the Clippers were heavily favored in their first round matchup against the 44-38 Portland Trail Blazers. In the first game, Chris Paul had 28 points and 11 assists and Griffin had 19 points and 12 rebounds as the Clippers cruised to a 115-95 rout.

In Game Two, the Clippers bench outscored Portland's reserves 43-10 and pulled away in the fourth quarter to take a 2-0 series lead with a 102-81 victory. Neither team could make a shot from the three-point line in Game Three. Portland's duo of Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum combined for 59 points and forward Mo Harkless had two late baskets to help Portland win 96-88.

Game Four changed the entire trajectory of the series and Los Angeles' season. In the third quarter, Paul broke his right hand swiping down at a Gerald Henderson drive. Soon after, Griffin re-aggravated his left quad ending his season prematurely.

Portland pulled away in the game, outscoring the Clippers 32-20 in the fourth quarter. Portland won 98-84. In the fifth game, McCollum had 27 points and Lillard scored 16 of his 22 points as Portland pulled away late to win 108-98.

Despite missing Paul and Griffin, and facing a 3-2 deficit, the Clippers hung tough in Game Six. Portland never took a double digit lead. Late in the game, Clippers guard Jamal Crawford tied the game 103-103 after making two free-throws with 32 seconds remaining.

On the next possession, McCollum missed a runner, but Blazers center Mason Plumlee was fouled on an offensive rebound by Green and the Clippers were in the penalty. He made both free-throws. Crawford missed a floater with two seconds left and Plumlee rebounded the miss and was fouled again.

The Blazers big man split a pair of free-throws, giving Portland a 106-103 lead with two seconds left. With no timeouts left, Paul Pierce inbounded the ball to Austin Rivers who missed a desperation three as Portland held on for the win and eliminated the Clippers 4-2.

In six playoff games with the Clippers, Green mustered 10.2 PPG on 45.7% from the field, 3.2 RPG, 0.7 APG and 1.0 SPG in 26.5 MPG. In the 2016 offseason, Green became an unrestricted free agent and left the Clippers, signing a one-year, $15 million deal with the Orlando Magic.

Stephenson was given more consistent playing time upon arriving in Memphis. Injuries befell the Grizzlies as center Marc Gasol remained out and point guard Mike Conley ended up missing most of the second half of the season with an achilles issue.

The Grizzlies limped to the regular season finish line, going 11-18 after the trade deadline to finish 42-40 and seventh in the West. Stephenson appeared in 26 games with the Grizzlies, managing 14.2 PPG, 4.4 RPG, 2.8 APG and 0.7 SPG in 26.6 MPG.

Memphis was decimated with injuries heading into its 2016 playoff run. With Conley and Gasol both out, the Grizzlies went into a difficult first round matchup with the 67-15 San Antonio Spurs.

Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard had 20 points and San Antonio used a 33-14 third quarter edge to put away the Grizzlies in a 106-74 rout. Game Two was similar. Memphis shot just 32.6% from the field and 13.3% from three in a 94-68 loss.

The series location shifted to Memphis. The Grizzlies had just 10 players available, but managed to have brief moments where they led. The Grizzlies won the second and third quarters after losing the first nine of the series. In the fourth quarter, both teams traded leads before the Spurs used a 7-0 run to gain control. Memphis stayed in the game but San Antonio hung on for a 96-87 victory.

In the fourth game, Leonard had 21 points and the Spurs put the game away with a 37-21 third quarter advantage. San Antonio won the game 116-95 and swept the Grizzlies in four games. In the four-game series, Stephenson was effective, averaging 13.0 PPG on 52.3% from the field, 1.5 RPG and 1.8 APG in 23.0 MPG. Stephenson had 26 points in the final game.

youtube

The Grizzlies declined Stephenson's $9.4 million team option for the 2016-17 season so they could free up some cap space in free agency. Stephenson became an unrestricted free agent and went on to sign a contract with the New Orleans Pelicans.

The first round pick the Clippers sent to Memphis was lottery-protected in 2019 and 2020. It would become a second round pick in 2022 if it was not conveyed in either of the first two years.

The rights to the pick were traded to the Boston Celtics for the 31st and 35th picks in the 2016 NBA Draft Deyonta Davis and Rade Zagorac. In 2019, the pick was 20th overall and Celtics selected forward Matisse Thybulle. On the same day, Boston traded Thybulle to the 76ers for the 24th pick (Ty Jerome) and 33rd pick (Carsen Edwards).

Jeff Green on joining the Clippers (via LA Times):

"I am going to a great situation. Having played two years with [head coach] Doc [Rivers] and knowing what he expects from his players is big."

On the Clippers roster:

"This is definitely a team with all the right pieces and a team that is going in the right direction. The only thing I want to do is win and that’s what it’s all about right now."

Lance Stephenson looking back at his most recent struggles with the Charlotte Hornets and Los Angeles Clippers (via Memphis Commercial Appeal):

"Certain teams, you just don't fit in. I've definitely got something to prove. I just want to get back to my old self, get back to playing in a rotation and helping my teammates win. God is good, so wherever He guides me, I'm going to try my best to figure it out."

On joining the Grizzlies:

"On this team, you've just got to play hard and be in attack mode. You don't have to think too much, you've just got to play hard."

Memphis Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace on a busy trade deadline (via Memphis Commercial Appeal):

"The job of management is to straddle the line of getting the team to win in the short term and take care of the future. When you have as many unrestricted free agents as we did, you’re not going to be able to sign all of them. The idea was to get something without these guys being able to walk away for nothing."

Los Angeles Clippers president of basketball operations and head coach Doc Rivers on the trade (via ESPN):

"I really didn't know if the trade was done because I didn't want to look at my phone."

On Lance Stephenson:

"The guy was great, and guys really liked him. I was really happy with him as far as how he carried himself."

How he gave the go ahead on the trade ahead of a funeral service for Monty Williams' wife, Ingrid (via ESPN):

"I basically told Dave, 'Yes,' and walked in. "I really didn't know if the trade was done or not, because I didn't want to look at my phone. When the service was over I looked at my phone and saw that we had pulled a trade."

Clippers guard Jamal Crawford on the addition of Green (via LA Times):

"Jeff, with his size and athleticism, the way he slashes and can guard multiple positions. It definitely helps us."

Basketball in East Asia

By: Jithin Manikonda

Growing up, basketball has been one my most favorite sports to play and watch! Although the sport of basketball has its roots in the US, globalization has allowed the sport to become popular all throughout the world, including as far away as East Asia.

The history of basketball spans back to 1891, when James Naismith hoped to invent a game to help young men in Springfield College located in Springfield, Massachusetts find a way to pass time. This school had many different names, one of which was “YMCA.” Even though basketball was just slowly gaining traction as a sport in the US, it did not take much longer for the sport to spread to Asia as a result of YMCA missionaries. Specifically in China around the 1920s, the sport started to become popular and about a decade later was declared a national pastime. In fact, China created an Olympic team for the sport in 1936 and used the sport to spread ideas of team work and the “friendship first, competition second” among children. This importance of basketball beyond friendship is still practiced today: NBA Asia managing director Scott Levy and many other generous philanthropists frequently hold camps and other events in East Asia to enrich the lives of aspiring kids.

Similar to the National Basketball Association, there is a basketball league in East Asia called the East Asian Super League, or EASL. This year, the East Asia Super League’s season will tip off in October 2022, just like the National Basketball Association. The EASL, however, has eight teams representing much larger areas: Greater China, Korea, Philippines, and Japan. From these areas, professional teams, including TNT Tropang Giga, San Miguel Beermen, Utsunomiya Brex, Seoul SK Knights, Taipei Fubon Braves, Ryukyu Golden Kings, Bay Area Dragons, and Anyang KGC. These teams will face each other in a home-and-away fashion until March 2023, where they will have a Final Four playoffs in order to determine the victor for the basketball season. However, there are many other leagues and clubs where basketball is played at many different levels, showing the willingness of East Asia to feed the love for the sport for everyone.

Basketball in East Asia has even been expressed in popular culture, such as anime and manga. For example, there are three animes that many anime-lovers and sports-lovers may have heard of: Slam Dunk, Kuroko’s Basketball, and Ahiru No Sora. All these anime deal with the hardships, competitive nature, and teamwork that come with basketball. For many sports lovers, these animes have undoubtedly had an impact on the increasing popularity of basketball within East Asia.

There are many players of East Asian descent that have made an everlasting impact on the National Basketball Association, the highest level of professional basketball in the world. To name a few, Jordan Clarkson, Jeremy Lin, and Yuta Watanabe are a few players that are still playing today. Although he has retired, Yao Ming, who is often referred to as the basketball G.O.A.T. of Asia, has undoubtedly made an impact on basketball all around the world and is undoubtedly recognized as one of the greatest big men to ever play the sport. There are also many players from the NBA who join leagues in East Asia, such as Lance Stephenson, Jalen Green, and Jared Sullinger.

There are so many more fun aspects to basketball that I can just keep talking on and on about! So if you love basketball like me, next time you visit East Asia for an elongated period of time, you should really consider going to one of the game of the EASL or see how basketball is played in different neighborhoods of East Asia and come back to this post and let me know how it went!

Cricketers recall days gone-by

LEAGUES of years gone-by were recalled when Hyde Cricket Club hosted a Seventies to Nineties reunion on September 16.

Old friends, delighted to see each other again, told ever-taller tales about runs scored, wickets taken and bruises sustained as they recalled classic encounters and professionals such as Ezra Moseley, Curtly Ambrose and Franklyn Stephenson.

One player, Russell Hamer, had travelled all the way from Kelowna in the west of Canada to be at the event which was organised by Mike Greaves, who was one of three former first-team captains to attend.

The gathering also included Gary Wilkinson, who took 19 wickets in a weekend when Hyde won the Central Lancashire League championship in 1981; Mark Stringer, who was also pro at Denton St Lawrence; and former Stalybridge skipper Phil Spiby.

Mike, who was also celebrating his 70th birthday, used the evening to present a Trevor Trueman print to the club which had been given to him by Hyde as a 50th birthday present. Based on a photograph, it depicts a typical summer scene at the Werneth Low Ground, with the receiving batsman believed to be Lee Brown who recently retired as a Hyde player after 51 years.

Noting that the picture deserved to be in the pavilion rather than his Anglesey home, Mike added: "For me, the Lancashire and Cheshire League days were the best. In the Central Lancs, with all their West Indian fast bowlers, you wondered if you'd be fit for work on Monday morning.

"The L and C had good cricket and a good social side. One game that particularly sticks in my memory is the 1978 Walkden Cup final when we made 104 all out — with Jim Allen incredibly failing to score — and then bowled out Lawrence's for 96.

"It was a very hard-fought match but both sets of players, and the Walkden Cup, ended up in a nightclub near Crown Point."

Plans are already in hand for a follow-up reunion.

how not to be in love with lance stephenson

Off-peak times oblige, TrashTalk has taken the habit each summer of making you relive with emotion the greatest moments of the past season. Except in 2021, because in the summer of 2021 know that the editorial team came very close to surrendering, but that’s another story. So we go back to the good old formula, we go back a few months, and we remember that this 2021-22 season was crazy, from the…
