It's a player's league. Coaches know that. That's why there's no loyalty unless you're San Antonio.

I don't mind Jeff, but I would 100% be on board with us looking at Fiz in the offseason

Comes from good organizations, and I thought he was alright with the Grizzlies last year

Just can't hire a new coach mid season like some people here are gonna want
BaF Lakers:

Darius Garland/Cory Joseph
Klay Thompson/Shaedon Sharpe

If the players continue to play hard for Jeff, then we should leave it be. Can't keep on bringing people in with different schemes and methods, etc.

The Grizz have a wack roster... Its not really dude fault. Conley and Marc don't cut it anymore. Gasol is a center shooting 41% from the floor, which is terrible, and Conley was shooting under 40% before he was injured and is not the impact player he used to be. They will regret throwing away a good coach so fast.

Grizz will regret this 1000%. The problem has nothing to do with Fiz, but with the makeup of the team. They've committed nearly $80 million to a bum in Parsons, an aging center in Gasol, and a soon to be aging PG in Conley while never attempting to acquire younger players over the years.
