Report: Grizzlies attorney David Mincberg pushing for front-office role; Lionel Hollins might return
The turmoil surrounding the Memphis Grizzlies' front office caught many by surprise, but the situation might get even crazier before the dust settles.
Sam Amick of USA Today cites a source who suggests team attorney David Mincberg has slowly become more and more involved in running the franchise and he may have been the catalyst for the shakeup that cost CEO Jason Levien and and assistant general manager Stu Lash their jobs.
Amick reports Mincberg was involved in the decision to remove Lionel Hollins as head coach after last season and replace him with assistant Dave Joerger. Now, rumors are surfacing that Memphis is considering bringing Hollins back.
Adding to the confusion, Amick reports Grizzlies owner Robert Pera conducted end-of-season meetings with players - a job that typically falls to the team's head coach and general manager.
