The Grizzles hire assistant Tuomas Iisalo as the interim head coach but part ways with two other assistant coaches.

Things get even more curious.

LaRoche wasn’t bulletproof. (Dad joke)

That crazy offense where they move away from the ball.

Joker continues to not care about his 3P% unlike every other star player.

Grizzlies GM Zach Kleiman and former head coach Taylor Jenkins had an apparent rift, per @DamichaelC (https://commercialappeal.com/story/sports/nba/grizzlies/2025/03/28/taylor-jenkins-fired-memphis-grizzlies-reaction-ja-morant/82706652007/…):"Zach blamed Taylor. Taylor blamed Zach. No one takes accountability for absolutely anything.”Internal chaos ahead of the playoffs for Memphis.

If we could somehow land both in a KD deal, I'd be cool with that.

They cannot. That's it. Full stop.

It's possible. If you don't want to discuss it, don't. Boston is over the 2nd apron by $17 million as of now. If they can find a way to get under that then it could be done straight up. I haven't looked at cap holds for them but that's not a lot to free up if they are interested in KD, as rumored.

LOL keep living in your fantasy world. You're good at that.

We could keep Durant and get Lebron, you know, if we really wanted to. SMH

KD has been rumored to end up in Boston and Boston is reportedly looking to move Jrue and KP. You want to take it personally and think it doesn't need to be discussed for some reason and want to equate it to Lebron coming here? You cant debate the point, you want it shut down and even get personal to try and detract from it. Grow up.

Grizzlies prez of basketball ops and GM Zach Kleiman spoke briefly after
@memgrizz
Shootaround today and was intent on making one thing clear about Friday’s dismissal of coach Taylor Jenkins:“The players were not consulted on this decision. The decision was mine and mine alone.

Hey! Stop that!

Mavs moved up to the nine spot and Sac a game ahead of us in the ten spot. I thought all the media types were saying the Suns make the ten spot easy peasy?

Maybe some pressure mounting on the Trail Blazers and Spurs to stay below the Suns?

I don't know. Spurs and Blazers had little mini runs. Then got cold. We aren't really grabbing the Bull by the horns either.

I'm thinking the Spurs and Trail Blazers don't want the Suns to out lose them because of the draft.

You could make the argument both clubs were playing better than us before their recent slides.

This season has been a real downer for sure.

Sadly, with the Suns likely not making the play-in and not owning their own draft pick, it really doesn't matter where they finish.

Well, the Mavs getting two games ahead of us took that tie breaker leverage for the tenth spot away. They look like they are locking in the ninth spot looking at recent play.

It's hard to get excited about where the Kings and Mavericks finish.

Dbacks just gave up the game destroying HR. Suns are all I got left today. LOL!

May I suggest concentrate on watching the younger players, which I know you do anyway.

Amazing. The Diamondbacks come back to win. Now you don't have to worry about the Suns.
