The Memphis Grizzlies

If I were the Grizz GM I would not change a thing. That is easier said than done. I do believe the Grizz have a great team.

If I were the Grizz GM I would not change a thing. That is easier said than done. I do believe the Grizz have a great team.

So what kind of contract would you offer Mayo then?

*All contract figures are for the 2012-13

Remember you already have lots of $ strapped on Rudy Gay (16.4M); a little bit on Tony Allen (3.1M) and Mike Conley (7.1M) your starting backcourt. Your frontcourt earns 16.5M (Randolph) and 13.8 (Gasol)

That's starters salary of around 55M already. They can not afford Mayo, who'll demand something in around the MLE, and they don't have a bench for next year and even that they have to spend a bit (Darrel Arthur and Marresse Speights both need to sign the qualifying offer of around 3-4 M to stay)

The Grizz are a good team, not a great team. They need to be a great team to beat the likes of Oklahoma and other contenders. And to be a great team they need a legit and consistent 8-man rotation (not 5 or 6)

We'll see if the Memphis Grizzlies still have that hunger this season. They will begin another playoff hunt by tangling the reloaded Los Angeles Clippers. Clippers eliminated the Grizzlies in the first round last post season.

[CKR13]

Memphis Grizzlies wasting no time to pounce on a tired Golden State Warriors as they have built quite the lead early in the 2nd quarter: 38-24. Both teams are coming off a game the other night.

[CKR13]

Front- court did great against the Golden State Warriors, and then some production from Mike Conley. This is a good bounce back game from the Grizzlies.

I personally thank them for giving the Warriors a lost.
