Pretty good read. Also, count me on the side of liking the Tony Allen deal.

Brewer signed with the Bulls. Hope he doesn't go wild and make the Griz look like a bunch of dimwits (again) for getting rid of a player that could help out the team.

It always helps when playing alongside a top notch PG.

Brewer is solid, but I don't think we'll miss him. Certainly not a game-changer. I would have liked him back as well, but Tony Allen is enough for me.

I was happy with the signing of Allen. I love Brewer ,but Allen is a proven lockdown defender who could play a big role for the Grizzlies this season, especially in late game defensive situations.

I'm cautiously waiting and seeing on him. He was a great talent in college at aTm ,but no NBA team has really given him a chance with a lot of minutes to see what he can do so the jury is still out on the guy. I hope he succeeds ,because the Grizz need all the bench scoring they can get.

Sure. He sucks.

I had high hopes when he was drafted, but he just never panned out with the Hawks.

Great college player though.

The Hawks really wanted Acie to beat out Bibby for the PG spot, but he never could. I really hope the same thing doesn't happen with Teague. Big hype, then a huge disappointment.

According to Sonny Vaccaro, agents only make money off of the "extra 20%" which is why Arn Tellum is going through all of this with Xavier and the Grizzlies.

He was on the Chris Vernon Show today talking about it.

GREAT stuff by Chris Vernon and his interview of Michael Heisley.

Just amazing that this guy runs our team......so sad.

This is definitely a must listen.

And a shortened transcript of the interview.

Listening to it is MUCH better though as you get Heisley's yelling and tone.

If that would make you happy, I'll say it.
