Memphis, Tennessee

Today, January 6th 2019, marks the end of the Grit n’ Grind Grizzlies era emblazoned in the minds of Memphis fans as a proud time for the franchise. The core of Conley, Parsons, Randolph, Allen, and Gasol played a combined 0 minutes with each other on the floor, but the aftermath of this key departure has reverberated around Memphis like an earthquake.

Parsons and the Grizzlies are looking for a trade that may include a packaged 1st round pick, making the allure of nabbing Parsons on an expiring contract even more desirable. “Memphis will never be the same. To say thanks would be a criminal understatement” said Conley fighting off some tears. “Nothing lasts forever”.
