September 2, 2010Positional Rankings: How the Griz Stack Up
Beyond The Arc | Memphis Flyer — Over the past couple of weeks, NBA blogger Kelly Dwyer (of Yahoo's Ball Don't Lie) has done a smart, entertaining series of posts ranking the top 30 NBA players at each position. I took a particular interest in this not only because I'm a fan of Dwyer's work, but because I had done this little exercise myself just a couple of weeks before as a way to get a feel for how I thought the Grizzlies' talent stacked up against the rest of the league.… [ Read more ] [ Subscribe to the comments on this story ]

August 24, 2010Michael Heisley, Annotated -- Part One
Beyond The Arc | Memphis Flyer — Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley appeared on The Chris Vernon Show yesterday afternoon and submitted to a 37-minute interview. It was noisy and combative in part because Vernon, always animated, asked tough questions and backed them up with a solid understanding of the way the NBA works, a combination Heisley rarely confronts in his local media appearances.… [ Read more ] [ Subscribe to the comments on this story ]
August 24, 2010Griz Notes: The World Championships
Beyond The Arc | Memphis Flyer — Though it was disappointing to see O.J. Mayo get cut from the national team in favor of the roughly similar Eric Gordon, the upcoming World Championships should hold a lot of interest for Grizzlies fans. With one cut left to be made, Rudy Gay seems certain to make the final squad and given how well he's played in exhibitions so far (a team-high 19 points off the bench against France at Madison Square Garden last week), should be in line for significant rotation minutes.… [ Read more ] [ Subscribe to the comments on this story ]

- Will Tyson Chandler be a disappointment? Dallas Mavericks Blog | ESPN Dallas The trade that more or less swapped aging center Erick Dampier for oft-injured center Tyson Chandler didn't exactly set off fireworks around town, even though the Dallas Mavericks spun the deal as a defensive upgrade in the case the Mavs meet the front-court rich Los Angeles Lakers in the playoffs.
