Fab Waived by Grizz

@WojYahooNBA: Y! Source: Fab Melo, the 22nd pick in 2012 NBA Draft, clears waivers and becomes a free agent. http://t.co/fQBH5LcUdU

I didn't think Fab looked that good during summer league but he played well enough during the D League season for someone to give him a shot, at least during preseason camp. If a team picks him up, they won't have to pay him much at all, so it's worth the gamble. Teams still need to fill out their rosters with some cheap players, so Fab fits that bill.

Wouldn't be shocked if he went to play in Spain instead of going to a camp as a non-roster guy.

The only problem I see with this is the drama that Fab might bring with him. If you are filling out a roster, you want someone who is ready to contribute when called on. You also want someone who is going to be a good teammate; someone who fits in and takes care of himself. Based on his history, Fab would be a big question mark for me if I was a GM.

Flip side is, you don't often find young 7 footers with upside for dirt cheap.

My guess is Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers...
Such a joke to waste talent and the chance to earn millions because he can't stay away from cheeseburgers...

yeah, but, to be fair, cheeseburgers can be pretty freaking awesome

on the other hand, this delicious Down Low Burger at Mar'Sel costs $21 a pop, so that NBA salary would come in handy if you want a steady diet

I'm not sure it was Baye's or Joseph's

Maybe Boston will want him back now that Sullinger has been arrested for assaulting his girlfriend.

Yeah, Fab can do that better than Sullinger.

I thought the victim was a turn signal handle.

Iggy, the 2-3 Zone may have been the ultimate equalizer to UK's athleticism. We'll never know, but that team was one HORRIBLY officiated game away from the Final Four without the BE Defensive POY. UK and SU were destined to meet for the championship that year...but fate threw destiny a curve. The NCAA was not letting SU get to that Final Four, no matter what. The scandal that shall not be named made sure of that. With Fab, though, I think we would have made it no matter how bad the officiating. That team was too damn good.

Brings back memories. That team was LOADED.

Kentucky because they have the best coach and he's never been sanctioned

Coach K coaches at Kentucky now? Where have I been lately?

It will be so entertaining watching Calipari bolt UK in a few years leaving a trail of wreckage behind him like UMass and Memphis.
