    Rather than having stars in their early 20s on rookie-scale contracts, the Grizzlies will be built on stars entering their mid-20s now on sizable deals.

    Herrington: After ‘wake-up call,’ change looms for Grizzlies

    This Grizzlies season ended early on Friday night in Los Angeles and then it felt like it just kept on ending, over and over again, until the score was finally 125-85 when the buzzer sounded and this Memphis playoff ride was abruptly over.

    Herrington: From G League to playoffs, Tillman ‘stays ready’

    Xavier Tillman started five games in the G League this season. Barring the unexpected, he will start at least five playoff games this spring. One imagines no one else in the NBA, and certainly no one multiple seasons into his pro career, will be able to make such a claim.

    Herrington: ‘Civility can be a cudgel, decorum a dodge’

    Whether it’s denying Memphis funding as punishment for removing Confederate statues or attempting to punish Nashville for not hosting the 2024 Republican National Convention, these are proxies for a political divide between urban and rural communities.

    Herrington: A parade inside my city? Grizzlies fans can sing along with that

    I’m not sure anyone is bothered by the “parade inside my city” line aside from a television carnival barker and people on the Internet, but does a lyrical investigation after recent incidents make one wince? Sure.

    Herrington: Jaren Jackson Jr.’s offensive emergence changes formula for Grizzlies success

    For a team many expected to slide, the month of March has belonged to Jaren Jackson Jr., who’s led the team at 23 points per game on 53% shooting, as the Grizzlies have reclaimed their spot at second in the conference.

    This is perhaps the biggest young star in the NBA, subject to a league gun investigation twice in five weeks. It’s a red alarm issue far beyond Memphis.

    Herrington: The Music Fest lineup is terrible! (Actually, it’s totally fine)

    It never looks great on paper, but you can always be guaranteed that great stuff will happen. Like a magisterial Jill Scott cracking jokes and dispensing love advice, Sturgill Simpson surprising with a lacerating, hard country-soul set or that time that a nervy Randy Newman surveyed the afternoon crowd and began playing an unedited version of “Rednecks.”

    Herrington: As spotlight returns, it’s time to be realistic about Mud Island, Coliseum

    Memphis is awash in dramatic examples of adaptive reuse, from a Downtown shopping mall turned corporate headquarters to a Sears warehouse building turned “vertical urban village” to even a Pyramid-shaped arena turned world’s biggest bait shop. But Mud Island and the Mid-South Coliseum have proved trickier for rebirth.

    Herrington: Memphis is wondrous, troubled — and not that special

    Right now, in Memphis, we’re suffering — directly for some, psychologically for all — from a spate of unusual crimes. The fear for some is that the unusual is now morphing into usual. But it’s felt that way before.

    Herrington: With Dillon Brooks, Kyle Anderson, maybe the Grizzlies have found what they’re looking for

    All of the NBA wants two-way wings, midsized players who can affect both ends of the floor. The Grizzlies are among the teams hunting for these players. But in Brooks and Anderson, they might already have one of the league’s best such combos.
