標題: [外絮] Grizzlies Owner Cuts Scouting Staff From Five to Nothing

Of all teams in need of a good scouting staff, the Grizzlies, who have had 10
top-six picks in 14 years of existence, are at the top of the list. The team
had five amateur scouts last season (I'm not calling the scouts amateurs,
they scouted amateur players). Next season, Geoff Calkins of the Memphis
Commercial-Appeal reports, the team will have zero scouts. Zero.
It's an unbelievable concession, even in this economy. (Insert sad trombone
sound.) The Bobcats declining to assemble a summer league squad -- that's
unnerving. A team like the Grizzlies decided to detonate the entire scouting
staff with the playoffs nowhere in sight? That's abominable.
Of course, given that a real estate mogul, team owner Michael Heisley, makes
all the basketball decisions, maybe it's just as well.
Calkins also surmises in his Sunday column that Heisley and Heisley alone
decided Hakim Warrick wouldn't be a proper fit going forward. Milwaukee, a
cost-containing team in its own right, immediately saw fit to give Warrick
the salary Memphis revoked. The basketball side of the operation in Memphis
loved Warrick, and saw him as an important bench scorer next season. Heisley
saw him as a $3 million paycheck he didn't really want to sign. So Warrick
became an unrestricted free agent immediately.
Defenders of Heisley might point to Zach Randolph as an example of the team
being willing to pay for talent. Except that without the Randolph trade (the
Grizz sent Quentin Richardson's $8.7 million contract to L.A. for $16 million
of Z-Bo) the Grizzlies would not have reached the league's minimum salary
without signing a high-priced free agent. The collective bargaining agreement
requires that teams spend at least 75% of the salary cap level on payroll.
For 2009-10, that's just shy of $44 million. Lo! the Randolph trade put
Memphis just above $44 million in salary.
This is all to say it's a shame what Heisley is doing to this team, and most
importantly, the fans.
有沒有這麼缺錢，連scout都不用了...
對得起灰熊球迷嗎.....
