Garnett didn't want to go to Boston when they sucked. The Spurs and the Lakers had rough times. Yeah, Heisley can't run a lemonade stand, nonetheless a NBA team. But basketball works in Memphis when done right. We are the best fans. Ask Coach Cal about sellout games, ESPN gameday and seats selling for $500 in nosebleeds vs. Tennessee.

Knicks can't sign-and-trade Lee or Robinson till July. They can't be included in any draft day deals. Since this is pretty much your life, how about you research for us whether the Grizzlies would be allowed to trade whoever they pick after July 1. Please? Instead of posting bullshit trade rumors that can't possibly go through under the current CBA? Dime. Knicks can’t sign-and-trade Lee or Robinson till July.

They're going to get paid guaranteed millions and still they want to choose their own teams... If they really want that then let's just scrap the draft and let them apply for any NBA team that they want, just like in real life when your applying for a job. This kids are spoiled assholes.

BAM.. thats wut GS wants. just throwin shit in the air right now. dumb ass move. maybe they dont want to spend any money NOW. but what does it matter? the contract is guaranteed. rookie contracts that high up on the draft board are for what? 3-4 years? by that time, memphis could already have changed a whole deal in terms of marketing.
