The Answer to the Memphis Blues?
The Memphis Grizzlies officially announced the signing of G Allen Iverson today. The contract is for one year and is worth $3.5M, and it raises a lot of eyebrows on if this arrangement can work. Apparently for Iverson, it was clear that he would have to accept a bench role to play, considering he did not want to come off the bench for the Los Angeles Clippers, and despised the idea...

Allen Iverson will sign with the Memphis Grizzlies
Today, Allen Iverson utilized his Twitter page to notify the world of his intentions to sign with the Memphis Grizzlies. In his update he stated "God Chose Memphis
as the place that I will continue my career. I met with Mr. Heinsley,
Chris Wallace and my next head coach Lionel Hollins." While the 34-year-old Iverson collected $21 million last season, his new one-year contract...

Wrong Answer in Memphis
So Allen Iverson is going to be in Memphis, huh?Wow. I don't really know where to begin. I understood the Zach Randolph acquisition, if only because the Grizzlies badly needed a consistent scorer in the post and had a rather large hole to fill at the power forward position. Hakeem Warrick was never able to prove that it belonged to him and Darrell Arthur is probably a year or...

Iverson to the Grizzlies
SportsCenter just reported that Allen Iverson announced in his twitter page that he'll be joining the Memphis Grizzlies for the upcoming season. The terms of the deal are still undisclosed but it's pretty safe to say that AI is going to get at least the midlevel exception which is a lot of money.
That's a bad move for Memphis in my opinion. Besides Oklahoma City, no other team has...

NBA Talk: Are The San Antonio Spurs The Team To Beat In 2009-10 Season?
As
you all know, I am an Indiana Pacers fan (and a little of the Memphis
Grizzlies, now that I have started a blog with Fanball.com network
called MemphisBlueBears.com), I just really wanted to write this
article about the San Antonio Spurs. Truly,
I think the Spurs deserve a lot of hype for what they have done in the
off-season so far, but more people are focusing on bogus nonsense...

Miracle on Figueroa St.
Q-Rich and I at Season Ticket Holders event, circa 2003
Dear Diary,
Zach Randolph's contract(33.3M over 2 years) was deemed immovable. Who would want this guy? Granted he's an automatic 20/10, his reputation still precedes him. So, let's just forget about this pipe dream, right? WELL, NOT SO FAST.
Come to find out, Lady Luck spent last night in the Clippers' hotel...

Free Agent Frenzy - Who Do We Want?
After a
disappointing end to the 2008-2009 season, it didn't take long for
Celtics' fans to scour the free agent list for this off-season's newest
additions. Our key needs are a backup center (because you can never
have too many), a backup small forward (to relieve Paul Pierce's tired
legs) and a veteran point guard to run the second unit. For a list of
the free agents...

NCAA Recruitment: Where Scumbags Happen
Two recent articles in the Chicago Sun-Times on R.O.Y. Derrick Rose caught my attention this week, one of which could potentially tarnish the image of the player many consider the savior of the Chicago Bulls. The first, from Scott Powers on Tuesday, reveals how Rose's family looks after him and keeps his feet firmly planted on the ground. Rose is widely regarded as a good, humble...
