When the Heat lost Zo, I adopted the Grizz as my team to watch. This is the team that Jerry West built and came oh so close to drafting Lebron James.

Wouldve been a bad bunch.

Wow, was that Pau Gasol's second year?
Many Heat "greats" I see, lol.
Mike Miller, Shane Battier, and White Chocolate!

Wow, I forgot about the Memphis pick that year was #1 protected. And they got #2 in the loaded draft and had to give it away to Detroit! Devastating

Yes. When the card was flipped over at the lottery and it had the Grizz logo on it, not only did they lose out on James and a potential dynasty, they also lost the pick to Detroit. Detroit then blew it by selecting Darko and effectively ending their chances at a dynasty.
