You know the Memphis NBA team is named the Grizzlies because they moved from Vancouver. But why did the Vancouver team have that name? 

Will Milwaukee trade Giannis? Do only the healthy teams advance in the NBA playoffs? Can we get a conference quota in the draft lottery? Do you remember Luigi Datome? And much more.

On this episode of The Daily Memphian’s Memphis Grizzlies podcast, Drew Hill and Chris Herrington discuss Herrington’s multipart column ranking the most valuable players on the Memphis roster.

Memphis Grizzlies roster news began circulating on social media Monday afternoon, May 12, but the timing of the update was perplexing.

How fully have the Memphis Grizzlies been passed by other young teams? How accurate was Grizzlies general manager Zach Kleiman’s same-day assertion/admission that the team is “not close” to contention?

The Grizzlies are going to be seeing a lot of Cooper Flagg in their future. 

The firm has done work on stadium renovations around the country, including the Gainbridge Fieldhouse, home of the Indianapolis Pacers.

The years Kathy Huff and her husband spent cultivating an atmosphere of reading, relationships and recreation have come to fruition now that their children, including Memphis Grizzlies player Jay Huff, are grown.

Cam Spencer’s grandfather was known for saying, “Enjoy the journey,” encouraging the people he loved not to focus so hard on the destination they miss the fun of the road that gets them there.

“He doesn’t care about the glitz and glam of all of this stuff,” Laketia Wells said about her son. “He just lives.”

As the NBA playoffs roll on, the Grizzlies are still waiting for the announcement of the league’s All-NBA teams, which could impact their financial flexibility.

Chris Herrington counts down from No. 18 to No. 10 in the first installment of his two-part, offseason Memphis Grizzlies player rankings list.

The Memphis Grizzlies have a lot on their plate before NBA free agency arrives July 1. Here’s a look at the key offseason dates.

Drew Hill and Chris Herrington discuss why they believe the Grizzlies ultimately hired Tuomas Iisalo as the head coach. 

Tuomas Iisalo only got to coach fifteen games and have two practices, but the work he did in his interim role was enough to earn him the full-time coaching job.

Tuomas Iisalo pushed just hard enough to make Grizzlies leadership believe he can do the job, but he also won the trust of the franchise’s most important players. 

Iisalo arrived in Memphis as the lead assistant prior to the 2024-25 season but previously generated head coaching interest while leading Paris Basketball in France. 

The NBA’s postseason results might be showing one thing: That the Grizzlies aren’t quite as far away as they thought. 

Drew Hill and Chris Herrington pick five quotes from Memphis Grizzlies exit interviews to give more thought. 

Chris Herrington breaks down what the Memphis Grizzlies were saying one day after their 2024-25 season ended and what he thinks it really means.

There have been a lot of whispers in recent weeks of the potential for major change on the Grizzlies roster this summer.

“Expectations are here,” Desmond Bane said Sunday from the Grizzlies’ final media session. “This is reality, and we came up short. We have to be better.”
