Aren't there any old warrants we could have Zbo arrested on when the Grizz come to Portland?

That's pretty much a wave of the white flag.

Yep...get Tony Brothers to be on tonight's crew...not good

Aren't the Blazers still paying Z-Bo to kick their a$$?

Yes they are. He structures his contracts to pay out over a longer period of time. From what I understand, Memphis will be paying him past 2020 even if he retires at the end of this season.

In an era where players blow their money quickly and are broke a couple years after playing; it's kind of a smart thing to do.

The woman was looking up various players houses last night while the game was on - zbos was 2.2MM that he bought just after getting married. Gasol's and several other Grizz have 500-800k houses. Pretty reasonable all considering.

They might want to search for warrants in our backcourt. That's what's killing them.

You should see Z-Bo's car collection...

This reminds of something I've been wondering, did any buy Cal's old place and if so, who?

It helps that you can buy an awful lot of house in Memphis at that price point.

I made the same point last night - but you can buy a house that size and trick it out with all kinds of stuff.

She has several pro ball players and ex ball players of various sports as clients and many of them really do blow through their cash. She's fired a few as clients because they couldn't stick to a budget and were on a crash course.

It's reasonably easy to look up.
