No discussion about the AI situation in Memphis? Grizzlies finally have something going for them, pretty good young team with two bonefide scorers, a could-be-decent PG and Gasol looks much better than everyone thought at center, when the owner decides he needs to sell some more tickets and signs AI, who proceeds to bitch and moan his first two games because he thinks he should be starting and he didn't get the last shot. Should be fun to watch AI and Randolph completely destroy this team over the next couple of months.
Really all the Grizzlies needed to do was a) resign Gay and b) continue Conley and Mayo's development and they really had a solid core for the future, possibly even a contender if you get another high draft pick this year (and maybe c) see if you can make Thabeet look anything like an NBA player). And they fucked it up - failed to sign Gay who they will now either have to give a monster contract to in the offseason or let a budding superstar walk, and signed a guy who will either hamper the development of one (or both) of those guys or destroy the team because he's not getting the minutes he feels he deserves. Great job by management, Hollins must be tearing his hair out.
