Being a Memphis Grizzlies fans I am excited to see they made some bold moves in trying to improve the franchise past first round laughingstock.  I hate to see Shane Battier be traded. He is a very hard worker and an even better person off the court. If you have to trade him, then get good talent, and the Grizzlies did that in obtaining Rudy Gay from the Rockets. Gay is a high flyer with a jumpshot.  He should be able to contribute right away in Memphis. 

New York Knicks fans, at least those who are still clinging on, were upset with the teams picks and booed both picks the team made.

Michael Jordan, now in the front office of the Charlotte Bobcats, used their first pick to select Adam Morrison who is a fan favorite. 

“The thing I see most is his desire to win, you can’t teach that,” said Jordan, who was in the Bobcats’ war room after holding meetings all day with Bickerstaff and team scouts.

“Looking at the team and what they desperately needed, they needed scoring in the fourth quarter,” Jordan said. “This team plays well in the first three quarters and competes and we needed somewhat of a leader going into the fourth quarter, a guy to finish ball games and take the big shots.”

Full story on why Jordan loves Morrison’s attitude.
