The news of the NBA’s potential expansion has grabbed the headlines recently. And should Las Vegas and Seattle be granted their own franchises, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported that one current Western Conference team — either Minnesota or Memphis — will be moved to the Eastern Conference.

However, Golden State Warriors sentinel Draymond Green took things further, proposing that the Grizzlies not only move out of the West but also relocate to Nashville, saying that Memphis doesn’t have the amenities necessary to support professional athletes.

It’s probably the first thing I’ve heard out of Green’s mouth that I agree with.

Yes, move them to Nashville so that they can strongarm the local government into building them their OWN arena to play in, as you know the Bridgestone area is “Too old”, “Only good for hockey”, “Doesn’t have enough luxury skyboxes”, etc., etc. And they can raise property taxes to cover it.

I lived in downtown Memphis from 2022 - 2024.

The FedEx Center is a fine venue. That’s about it for Memphis.
Same demographics as Detroit. However it is not a functioning city and isn’t looking to be one in the future. What few places you have to go for dinner, drinks and hotels is surrounded completely by the homeless and blight.
Nashville would be a better place for the team to be sure.

I was asked to come back this Summer for a new position for a “New Start Up” and said nope.

Heading to South Carolina for my next job. Always a new adventure on the horizon.👍😊

All I remember about him is that he played for Michigan State.

Nashville is a dumpster fire now.

Exploding property tax rates, traffic nightmares akin to California, and pro sport franchise with insane ticket prices.

Nashville is dying from urban socialism.
