    The Grizzlies haven't done anything in their existence. They're pretty much a worthless franchise for the NBA. They can't draw fans, and they either make lousy draft picks or give players away for nothing.

    So simple question. Should the Grizzlies stay in Memphis, move to another city, or fold?

    There are two separate listings for moving; I'm wondering how many people think they should move to Seattle.

    On the contrary I feel Mayo/Gay are a great duo to build around.

    Looking back a few years from their playoff days I can't believe they dumped Miller,Posey,Gasol. Battier I see going because Rudy was a good talent but Pau is such a great passing big man having OJ/Gay/Pau the grizzlies would have been much much better and we wouldn't have to be here worrying about a laker dynasty. If they add blake griffin this summer they're going to be interesting.

    On another note, maybe this is the franchise to go to vegas?

    The city of Vancouver feels fleeced by the NBA after how the Grizzlies skipped town and probably would not welcome another NBA franchise. The only way basketball could work there would be to get a Canadian player like Steve Nash or build off of the large Asian fan-base in the city. The NBA never gave Vancouver a chance.

    Just move the team to Seattle and call them the Super Sonics.

    ...You actually bought a Bryant Reeves jersey? What were you thinking?

    Probably just me being opinionated but they ought to stay where they are and get their first and only real coach other than Hubie. Eddie Jordan would be perfect for them. In any city. :D

    Some franchises are so incompetent they deserve to just fold.

    Yeah, it should be corrected to say " gave a star player away for Kwame Brown."
