Grizzlies S68 Press Conference

[K-100]

Welcome back to another season of Grizzlies basketball.

The past few seasons were undoubtedly challenging for our team, but I'm pleased to announce that we are nearing the end of our financial struggles, and heading towards brighter days. To our loyal fans who have stood by us through thick and thin, your unwavering support has been the driving force that kept us going. Thank you for your patience, passion, and loyalty.

Looking ahead, we are eager to return to the court and compete at the highest level. The hard times are behind us, and we are focused on building a team that can contend for a championship. We have made some significant additions to our roster this offseason, bringing in experienced players who will provide stable leadership for our young and talented squad.

Joining us are Raphael Gordon, Jalen Warley, and the two-time Finals MVP Markus Ridenhour. These veterans bring a wealth of experience and a winning mentality that will undoubtedly contribute to the growth and success of our team. We are thrilled to have them on board. In addition to our seasoned acquisitions, we are excited about our newest draft pick, Tennessee Rainwater. His stellar performance during training camp has caught our attention, and we see great potential for him to be a cornerstone player for the future of the Memphis Grizzlies. Paired with the talent of Johnell Davis, we are optimistic about the bright future that lies ahead.

We understand that the past few seasons have been tough, but we ask our fans to trust the process. With the new additions to our roster and the promising young talent we have, we are ready to build another winning team. As we embark on this new season, we invite you to share in our optimism and join us in the journey to success. Go Grizzlies!

Justin Bieber, Teremana.com: Glad you are very optimistic, and everything is roses and flowers for the Grizz front office. But, Grizz fans are sick and tired of losing. Numerous times, the paparazzi caught you smiling and having a good time while the Grizz keeps losing. In fact during the preseason, the Grizz only won 1 game. How many games do you expect to win this year?

Sham Smith, Bulls.com: With the stint in tax jail winding down and Markus Ridenhour's contract being guaranteed through next season, what's the three word goal for each of the next 4 seasons?

Chet Youbetcha, Dimmadome News: Given that both you and the Heat are in short order going to be out of the tax jail, who do you expect to be competing first between yourself and the Heat?

What did you like about Tennessee Rainwater's draft profile?

I liked Rainwater's size and his athleticism, particularly his JMP. I think he can develop into an effective scorer in a few seasons.
