RT @JerryZgoda: Bottom line on Joerger, per source: He wants out of Memphis and they want him out. He won't quit and they don't want to pay

The situation in Memphis is just shocking. They're a really good team with a really good young coach, devolving into chaos.

Minny apparently

Hiring Joerger would be a coup for Minny, though he'd probably miss his farm in Tennessee. Grizz should just let Tony Allen coach now.

anyone with half a brain will want to stay far away from this rapidly developing tire fire.
Cue: MIKE BROWN TO THE GRIZZ!!

What a massive clusterfrick, this is why Memphis can't have nice things

Wouldn't mind having this guy come on as an assistant at all.

3. Memphis Grizzlies
The Grizz were off the board until Monday’s shocking turn, when the team fired Jason Levien, the team’s CEO, and Stu Lash, the assistant GM, almost out of nowhere. Levien even owns a small equity slice of the team, making him one of about 17,423 people who own a chunk of Grizz flesh.
No one quite knows what to make of this. David Mincberg, the team’s in-house counsel, appears to have made a power play for more basketball decision-making power, per sources familiar with the situation. There are high-level executives on other teams who have literally not heard of Mincberg. Robert Pera, the most powerful among the team’s owners, conducted his own exit interviews with players after the season, according to Sam Amick of USA Today. That is strange, and Pera is quickly gaining a reputation as a temperamental new owner.
Chris Wallace will retain his position as GM for now, and it is remarkable that Wallace, so genial that people call him the Mayor of Memphis, has somehow outlasted two-thirds of the team’s once-new front-office power trio. (John Hollinger, the third member of that group, is still with the team. Ditto for Dave Joerger, who did a nice job in his first year as the team’s head coach. Joerger has multiple years of guaranteed money left on his deal, though as a first-time NBA head coach, it’s not an expensive contract.) You cannot kill Chris Wallace. He will be in the Grizz front office, being jolly and talking up his favorite BBQ joints, until he wants to leave.
The Grizz are the best among this group of teams, but they’ve now officially got a bit of that Dolan “What the F is going on here?” stink on them. They’ll be very good again next season, assuming Zach Randolph picks up his $17 million player option, and they have two cornerstone pieces in the primes of their careers in Marc Gasol and Mike Conley.
But Gasol is 29, and he’ll be a free agent after next season. The team has about $14 million per year invested in the Courtney Lee–Tony Allen–Quincy Pondexter trio over each of the next two seasons, and it owes a juicy first-round pick to Cleveland after last season’s Marreese Speights salary dump.2 Memphis is not a glamour free-agent destination.
It’s not hard to see a scenario where Memphis backslides into 2017, with Gasol entering his decline and zero young impact players on the horizon.

This is a goddamn catastrophe.

Considering he'll probably be a HC again soon, I'm sure you wouldn't

Rob Fisher is reporting on AM560 in Memphis that Minn actually asked for permission a couple of weeks ago
His quote was this has "been going on for a couple weeks" and it happened before Mondays events

The Wolves have been given permission to interview Grizzlies head coach Dave Joerger, and they're expected to do so before the end of the week.
Joerger has a good relationship with Wolves president Flip Saunders and he may be looking for a way out of Memphis after the Grizzlies fired multiple executives earlier this week. The Star-Tribune's source was blunt, telling the paper, "Joerger wants out and Grizzlies ownership wants him out, but Joerger doesn't want to leave the rest of his multi-year contract on the table and the team doesn't want to pay him off." We should have more updates in the coming days, but all signs point to Joerger transitioning from the Grizzlies to the Wolves in 2014-15.
