Memphis Grizzlies Cut Entire Scouting Staff
"How do you resist the conclusion that Heisley has settled on a strategy that values dollars over wins? He can't sell the franchise so he'll run it as cheaply as possible.

Maybe their scouts said that Randolph was a good investment
He let them do it as one last hurrah before firing them all for vengeance.

If it was, then they'd be hiring other scouts to replace them

Outsourcing?
Will scout for less than the guys you just fired. Season tickets to the Bulls and Bucks required.

I expect you to provide a Vinny-esque binder

Who needs gas money?
