Jun 26, 2026

Chris has seen some fans online talking about how Ja and the Grizzlies front office need to get in a room and work things out....Chris reminds you he was saying this in January and February and now things have gone too far to come back from. We'll then talk about the press conference yesterday introducing the newest Grizzlies rookies (Cam Boozer, Karim Lopez and Richie Saunders) and we look into just how much Cam Boozer won during his preps career and how we could look up in 7-8 years and talk about how it was crazy he didn't go #1 in the NBA Draft.
