Trade Talk
As reported in today’s Commercial Appeal, Grizzlies GM Chris Wallace is actively pursuing a trade for a scoring spark off the bench. Wallace is picky in his interests, though.

Hollins named Western Conference Coach of the Month
Our fearless leader, coach Lionel Hollins, was named the Western Conference Coach of the Month for December, the NBA announced today. This announcement comes on the heels of a franchise-best December that saw the Grizzlies go 9-4 and vanquish three division-leaders (Dallas, Cleveland, and Denver) while nearing the .500 mark. Congrats, coach!
Grizzlies 128, Suns 103

Our Wonderful Owner
here is the link to an article Forbes did on ol’ Michael Heisley. As a Grizz fan, I pray a group of Memphian buyers emerges and turns our franchise back over to us, the Memphis family. As FUBU is to the African American culture, so the Grizzlies will be to Memphis.
Merry Grizz-mas!!
Hey, Grizz Nation. I would just like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. As we reflect on the meaning of this season, we realize that we have a lot to be thankful for: family, friends, and the Memphis Grizzlies. “What?! The Grizzlies” you might say. “I’m not thankful for them. All they’ve brought me is frustration, misery, defeat, and pain.” You can say that, Grizz fans, but you’d be wrong.
