Grizzlies Owner Michael Heisley Goes Off

[A Tasty Burgerr]

It starts off a little slow, but I GUARANTEE it will be worth it after a bit. This guy is a nut and has no idea what he is doing.

The main gist of the article is that the owner is retarded because they have signed NEITHER of their 1st round picks (every other one is signed) because the owner decided he wanted to be the first team ever to implement the possible 40% performance incentives that he heard about in the CBA.

He says he has never read or even seen the Collective Bargaining Agreement, repeatedly says that he makes "horrendous decisions", says they are not too far from the luxury tax (they had the 2nd lowest team salary last year), and much, much more gold.

Heisley is a fool and the main reason this team isn't going anywhere.

I wish he'd sell the team and be done with it.

It's a really good interview, but it just goes to show at how bad Heisley handles the media when they don't go his way. He catches feelings too quickly. It's really bad PR.

The fact of the matter is, he's trying to take money from Henry to compensate for the Thabeet, Carroll and other shitty acquisitions.

I won't be surprised if they traded both of them.

The fact that he's doing this just proves how incompetent he is when it comes to basketball. Signing NBA 1st round rookies is something that should never be a problem, there is a reason the other 29 teams follow the scale correctly and don't use the retarded performance incentives that you technically can use.

oh my god i can't stand listening to him in the first 2 minutes


"and uh we uh put uh uh uh in uh the uh uh uh performance uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

I'd want Henry to have an incentive based contract myself.

listening to this...

[Juggernaut]

Just finished it, 37 minutes long T-T

He's so fucking retarded, Memphis fans...I feel sorry for you guys.

LMAO at this one comment

Knicks fan here so I don’t care much about the inner workings of the Grizzlies, but damn that was a great interview, actually hear the whole thing. I think this owner is great for his passion in his team. I loved that he got pissed off when questioned about his methods on running his team. I want Heisley running my team.
