The Grizz weren't looking to improve their roster or chances of making the playoffs (which are now, officially, zero). They are just interested in clearing cap space and reducing the team's future liabilities to attract a buyer.

In other words, it sucks to be a Memphis Grizzlies fan right about now. I'm sure all six of them are frustrated and sulking.

And, FYI, Jerry West is no longer GM of the Grizz. And this trade actually did have some upside for the Grizz financially, unlike the truly lopsided trade that sent KG to Boston this summer.

What the hell... Who is smoking crack in Memphis?

Seriously, how does this trade help the Grizzlies improve? First the waive Damon Stoudamire and now they trade for Kwame "Can't Handle the Ball" Brown.

It's going to be awhile before Memphis has a winning season again. At this point, it would seem they're just tanking to get the #1 pick in the NBA Draft. Let's see what the Miami Heat do to counter this move... bye, bye Shaq! Lol...
