Grizzlies’ Front Office Makes Calculated Moves to Give Team Real Shot at Relevance -
Friday, July 20, 2018
We will not be granting general manager Chris Wallace and the rest of the Grizzlies’ front office absolution. Can’t do it. Too many bad draft picks over the years, the bungled Tyreke Evans situation, and the failure to sufficiently vet Chandler Parsons’ health, make that impossible.
