While the action is poppin' on Beale Street, inside the FedExForum you can hear a pin drop. Attendance is 29th in the league, and with GM Jerry West history, fans doubt the 49 wins of 2006 can ever return. Heck, Memphis might not even have a team a few years from now, with owner Michael Heisley rumored to be actively searching for a suitor. "You have to wonder about a man who says the team isn't for sale unless he gets a good offer," says Josh Coleman, a blogger at Grizzlies fan site 3 Shades of Blue. It also makes you wonder when your second-highest-paid player is Darko Milicic, and the Paul Gasol trade gets you a whole lot of nothin' in return. But hey, FedEx still rocks: wide aisles and seats, Memphis music celebrated throughout and 100 concession stands. "The barbecue pulled pork nachos cannot be passed up," say Coleman. Alas, the same can't be said for the hoops. -Morty Ain
