Over 50% of his salary.

For those who suggested teams don’t buy out players for 50% of their contract value I give you the Memphis Grizzlies who bought out Howard for just over 50% of his contract and then subtracted another $2.6 million when he signed with the Lakers. Total savings from his $5.4 million contract looks to be in the neighborhood of $5.2 million.

Here is a direct quote from the Commercial Appeal. Take it as you wish. I won't attempt to change your opinion. I can only provide you with the facts.

The Grizzlies may leave Memphis regardless of them winning a title. It's just simple economics. However, they aren't leaving anytime soon. The city has the right to purchase the Grizzlies from the owner for the cost of the franchise (not it's current value) if the team leaves before then. The team is worth far more than Pera has invested capital in the team currently.

2027 is the earliest the team could realistically leave currently.

Your dad's student isn't a reliable source. First, the city has a contract with the team that is damned near unbreakable. Second, this is what Robert Pera has most recently said on the subject.

It's not a rumor. It's a ball faced lie.

If the Lakers aren't offering anything for Howard I would waive Plumlee and keep him. Somebody will want Howard come the trade deadline while no one will want Plumlee.

I have to agree with this. I don't want the players leaving their families for a basketball game and I don't want to leave my family on Christmas Day to watch a game. I'm content watching at home with everyone.

Not likely

Call Carl Rosen with the Grizzlies (901) 205-1405. He's a great ticket rep who can find you the seats you really want without the StubHub fees.

I have and I hate the **** fees they charge. It is a complete rip-off

ESPN predicts Memphis to be the worst team in the West this season.

I don't know how many people are watching Game of Thrones religiously but I have and I have a few questions about Season 8's premier Sunday night. 1) Why did Bran decide to force Sam Tarley to tell Jon Snow/Aegon Targaryan II about his true birth right then? Couldn't it have waited? 2) What do the White Walker symbols mean? I know it some ancient societies the spiral shape was made to reflect the unity of the universe. The circle with a line through is meant to represent the breaking of the life cycle in some societies as well. Does anyone have any other questions or thoughts on my questions?

You don't recall the Warriors missing the playoffs for 20 out of 21 years?
