From the South Florida Sun-Sentinel‘s Ira Winderman (via HoopsHype): Chris Bosh on what’s next: “Probably not coaching. It’s always very interesting. I’m always going to be [...]

The proverbial you-know-what has been hitting the fan in Memphis the past few weeks. The Grizzlies, currently losers of eight straight games, fired their head coach David Fizdale yesterday after he benched Marc Gasol and are now dealing with rumors of blowing the team up.
