I am hesitant to write much about the pending sale of the Memphis Grizzlies basketball team since the gritty details are not public yet. That happens this morning at 10 a.m.

It's been heavily rumored for months that a group headed by former Duke player Brian Davis was negotiating to purchase Michael Heisley's 70-percent share in the team. But long before those rumors, it was whispered long ago the Chicago businessman wanted out. And there were various things that happened which pointed to it as well.

Again, while trying to withold judgement until the final details are released, I find quite a bit disturbing about this story. The obvious red flag is the Commercial Appeal's report that the first casualty of the purchase would be team president Jerry West.

Ok, enough said, er, uh, typed. Listen to NewsRadio 600 WREC for all the details.
