Grizzlies Legend's Brutally Honest Kyle Lowry, Mike Conley Statement



Before Kyle Lowry became a franchise legend at point guard for the Toronto Raptors, he spent his first two and a half seasons in the league with the Memphis Grizzlies after the franchise selected him with the 24th overall pick out of Villanova in the 2006 NBA Draft. Lowry only appeared in 10 NBA games during his rookie season and never became a regular starter with the Grizzlies after they drafted Mike Conley with the fourth overall pick in 2007. Conley immediately took the starting point guard role as a rookie, but he and Lowry would eventually end up in a heated competition for the role.

Ex-NBA Star's Strong Ja Morant Statement Is What the Grizzlies Need To Hear



Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant has been one of the most polarizing players in the NBA over the last few years, being involved in some off-court and on-court drama that has kept him in headlines throughout the league. Morant, 26, is entering his seventh season in the NBA, but has only led the Grizzlies past the first round of the playoffs once in his career. The Grizzlies certainly want more from their franchise point guard, and since he has been dealing with extra injury concerns over the past couple of seasons, there has been some doubt about whether he has a future with the franchise. Almost every fan in Memphis would hope that the answer to that question is a surefire "yes," but there are certainly two scenarios where Morant would leave the Grizzlies.

How Do the Rockets Stack Up Against the Southwest Division This Season?



The Houston Rockets are set to begin a 2025-26 NBA season with major title hopes. With all-time great Kevin Durant at the helm, a team that was once regarded as an up-and-comer is poised for a huge leap. The Rockets will not only be competing in a tough Western Conference, but an underrated Southwest division. Houston is in a conference in which almost all of the teams will try to be competitive and make a push for the postseason, and in the Southwest, there are no organizations looking to rebuild.
