How do you resist the conclusion that (Grizzlies owner Michael) Heisley has settled on a strategy that values dollars over wins?
He can’t sell the franchise so he’ll run it as cheaply as possible. He’ll use the Grizzlies’ cap space to facilitate trades for other teams. The Grizzlies will be rewarded with “cash considerations.” They’ll be the Memphis Grizzlies & Money Launderers.
If Rudy Gay and O.J. Mayo develop into stars and the fans come back, great. If not, Heisley can hang on, keeping his losses down, and sell the team to an out-of-town owner when the penalty for breaking the lease is less prohibitive.
