That’s noteworthy because Zion Williamson and Ja Morant are in the same draft class – so the Grizzlies should be able to offer Ja the same amount. $36 mil a year? Sounds all right.<\/p>\n The Pelicans are gonna be in a tough situation. Zion is overweight and injury-prone. He has never lived up to his potential. There are signs he doesn’t want to be in New Orleans. If they sign him to a max deal, it could be an even worse contract than the one Chandler Parsons had with Memphis. But if they don’t re-sign him, another team could nab a diamond in the rough.<\/p>\n On the other hand, the Grizzlies’ contract negotiation in the offseason should go something like this:<\/p>\n “Max OK with you, Ja?”<\/p>\n “Sure.”<\/p>\n The Calvary Waffle Shop returns March 3.<\/a> The waffle shop is a pop-up lunch cafe held at Calvary Episcopal Church during Lent.

Lunch will be served 11:00-1:30 Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and they’ll serve dinner 5:15-6:15 Wednesdays. The waffle shop will return to in-person dining this year, now that the health department’s stupid COVID restrictions are long gone.<\/p>\n Potato milk is a thing now.<\/a> Yuck.
