The list of candidates continues to grow for the anticipated special election for Memphis Mayor. The latest addition is professional wrestler Jerry Lawler. One big piece that everyone is waiting for is to see if the current mayor will actually resign. Last year, he changed his mind and this year he has already pushed back the initial date to July 30.
It looks like the Memphis Grizzlies are trying to be active in the free agent market this year. The biggest name mentioned has been Allen Iverson. Big name, but what will he really add? Solid leadership? Probably not. Bench scoring? Maybe. Combined will Zach Randolph, it looks like a new bad boy's club is being formed. Unfortunately, Memphians will be jacked up at the thought of having both.
The Grizzlies also acquired Jerry Stackhouse in a multi-team trade with Dallas, Orlando and Toronto. In addition to receiving Stackhouse from Dallas, the Grizzlies also picked up a future second round pick and cash considerations from Toronto. The cash was used to cover Stackhouse's contract buyout (he has already been released). The Grizzlies also sent Greg Buckner to Toronto.
A new club will be opening on Beale Street. Republic will soon be opening its doors in the space that was last used by EP's.
Ladies and gentlemen, Boston.
