    That's surprising. I thought they wanted to keep him around.

    ...when you sign and try to play a washed Chandler Parsons, this is what happens.

    Wow the Grizzlies didn't just fire the coach they completely cleaned house. After the embarassment of the failed trade Wallace had to go.
    The bad thing with firing Bickerstaff is that this may be the least desirable job of the offseason with so many teams firing and about to fire their coaches.

    Kings
    Probably Lakers, Wolves and Bulls. Maybe Wizards.
    Grizzlies are the worst job out of all.

    They never should've resigned him. Although I figured at the time, they did it BECAUSE they wanted to lose games.

    https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2019/04/wolves-launch-search-for-president-of-basketball-operations.html

    ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, who initially reported on Tuesday that the Timberwolves were finalizing plans to retain Layden and Saunders, has amended his report, clarifying that Taylor would prefer to keep Layden and Saunders in the mix as part of a “revised organizational structure.”

    According to Wojnarowski, the idea would be to reward Saunders with a multiyear extension – likely a three-year deal with a team option in the final season – and to keep Layden as the general manager, with a new president of basketball operations working above him. It remains to be seen if the Wolves will target candidates willing to work within that structure, or if the team will ultimately let its new hire make the call on Layden’s and Saunders’ futures.

    Call me insane but the Grizzlies should trade Conley and Parsons to Washington for Wall plus a couple of picks. Stay bad for another few years, rebuild through the draft.
