Mayo to Dallas

By Chip Crain On July 17, 2012 · 31 Comments · In July 2012

According to O J Mayo’s personal twitter account, later confirmed by Marc Cuban’s, O J Mayo has signed a contract with the Dallas Mavericks.

Imagine the excitement that must have occurred Tuesday night, when the Grizzlies managed to solve both of those problems with one signing.

Yes, the Grizzlies inked a deal with former Raptors PG Jerryd Bayless, a talented player who could thoroughly improve [...]

Making the Case for Tony Wroten, Jr.

By Red Coleman On July 11, 2012 · 3 Comments · In July 2012

On draft night, the Memphis Grizzlies selected one of the two players I thought they wanted most at the #25 pick in the first round when they took Tony Wroten, Jr. The University of Washington freshman guard was a top 5 player coming out of high school and played fairly well on a Huskies team that wasn’t as good as expected last season.
