The deal is done for Ja Morant, ESPN’s Shams reported yesterday. The Portland Trail Blazers get him, and it’s being said they’ll run an unusual starting 5 with both him and Dame Lillard on the floor at the same time.
Memphis gets Fs Jerami Grant and Kris Murray. I’ve been hearing the Grizzlies front office has had their eye on Grant for some time now. As for Murray, keep him, waive him, dress him up in a tutu and teach him ballet, I don’t care as long as it gets Morant’s massive contract off our books.
Loflin Yard will have a watch party for USA vs. Bos.-Herz. Wednesday night. The match will be on the big screens with $20 Mich Ultra buckets and $30 NUTRI vodka seltzer buckets.
Walking in Memphis in High Heels lists the best hotel pools for a staycation.
If you see me staggering around this week, I’m not drunk. Cellulitis is back in my left leg & has swollen it and my toes hurt like hell. Back tomorrow with more news.
