Wow. Speechless. RIP to one of the greatest.

We legit might not win another game this year.

True, but there’s no guarantee they will always be here when larger markets like Seattle, Vegas, heck even Vancouver are wanting a team. Not to mention the consistent poor performance from the Grizzlies equates to lower attendance and less profits. The FEF contract isn’t iron clad and it won’t last forever.

Memphis has had an NBA team for nearly 20 years. For the overwhelming majority of that two decade period, the franchise has been ‘rebuilding’ and frankly, has just sucked. The cycle of being near the bottom of the barrel for several seasons as we “rebuild”, followed by a few “good” years of mediocre playoff appearances, and then sucking again for 3-5+ years has become blatantly evident. It’s frustrating to say the least. I’ve come to the realization that the chances of this team truly competing for, much less winning and NBA championship, before most of us are dead, or the team finally relocates to another city are slim to none. That’s just the facts. 20 years and nothing to show for it.

Is now a good time to re-start my decade old campaign to become a moderator? 😁

I think the answer is really quite simple. The man is a bumbling idiot who, for whatever unknown reason(s), was allowed significant influence with the franchise for far longer than he ever should have. Sometimes people just suck at their jobs.

I feel ya bro, it’s just getting tougher and tougher to keep hopes up though. At this point, Memphis has had an NBA team for nearly 20 years. In that time, we’ve never truly been a contender (one fluke WCF appearance where we got swept anyways does not count), and every time we seem to take a step forward, we then take 3 steps back. Even now, we’re 2 years in to what could be a 4-5 year re-build, and if the trend of ‘super teams’ continues in the NBA, we’ll still be behind the 8 ball to actually be a championship contender. Ill always be a fan, but I’d be fooling myself if I didn’t acknowledge that it gets harder and harder every year to get excited that we may be a contender. 20 years of nothing speaks volumes.

Memphis is, in reality, a G-League team that just so happens to be in the NBA. Players come here and develop into better players, then leave for a real franchise and find success.

What kind of blackmail does Chris Wallace have on Pera that he will never be fired?

Looks like we’re up to 10 signatures on this petition already!

BUT you're forgetting the gas to get downtown, the $15 parking fees, and the $12 burger and fries. Malco ftw!!

Still pretty pricy for what you're getting though... A Malco ticket is $12 and now they're coming out with the fancy reclining seats

Just to say we did something? It sure as heck doesn't help the team in the future at all. We give away our one All Star and the only long-term piece we get is a SECOND round pick in FIVE years? Are you kidding me? We're gonna be scraping the bottom of the barrel for years to come now.

Get ready to be the laughing stock of the NBA again. Probably for a decade or more this time.

An overpaid softy who always had a chip on his shoulder. Good riddance,
