Is Dave Joerger already on the hot seat in Memphis, with the Grizzlies off to a cold start? Ronald Tillery from the Memphis Commercial-Appeal writes, “Remember, (team owner Robert) Pera reportedly was in Memphis and threatened to fire Joerger after a slow start…in 2013-14. To the contrary, Griz insiders paint a picture of an owner disturbed by erroneous information leaks and willing to give Joerger time to rebound. Joerger’s contract is guaranteed for the 2016-17 season. The Griz have an option for 2017-18.”
Miami Heat guard Gerald Green has missed four games because of what the team has termed an “illness.” The Heat have not provided a timeline for Green returning to play, but the Heat also have no plans to sever their relationship at the current time. Ethan J. Skolnick with the Miami Herald reports that “the situation is delicate,…but there should be more clarity soon.” Green has a one-year veteran minimum deal that is completely guaranteed.
Despite the strong start for the New York Knicks, there are some who would like the team to remove Jose Calderon from the starting point guard spot and put Jerian Grant or Langston Galloway with the starting team. Calderon has said that he is open to whatever helps the Knicks win. Calderon is averaging 5.3 points per game, shooting 31.8 percent, dishing out 2.9 assists and grabbing 2.0 boards per game. The Knicks will get Arron Afflalo back from a hamstring injury this week.
