While this probably isn't of any importance due to the fact the franchise is leaving, I will note that Jim Rome and the TEAM 1040 have announced that the Grizz are in the midst of trading Bryant "Big Country" Reeves, Michael Dickerson and Stromile Swift to the Phoenix Suns for Tom Gugliotta and Penny Hardaway.
The trade has a lot to do with the fact that Penny is from Memphis and desires to play in his hometown again. Apparently the only thing keeping this trade from becoming official is the Grizz's reluctancy to include Stro in the trade. Apparently both sides are extremely close to finishing out the deal.
This would be a shitty, shitty trade for the Grizz. Both Penny and Googs' best days are far behind them.
In other NBA news, "Thunder" Dan Marjele has signed with the team he broke into the NBA with, the Phoenix Suns. Derek Anderson has left the Spurs to join the Blazers. John Amechi has left Orlando for Utah, while both Patrick Ewing and Horace Grant have signed with the Orlando Magic. The Lakers have added Mitch Richmond and Samaki Walker to their roster, while former Laker guard Tyronn Lue has signed with the Washington Wizards. The Toronto Raptors, the only Canadian team who can seemingly keep free agents around, have re-signed Antonio Davis, Jerome Willams and Alvin Williams, and are reportedly close to signing Houston Rocket's legendary center Hakeem Olajuwon. And to close it all out, the Bulls have signed former Grizz PG Greg Anthony. The Bulls also obtained forward Charles Oakley from Toronto in exchange for PF Brad Miller.
