In the latest episode of the Draymond Green Show, the Golden State Warriors star urged NBA commissioner Adam Silver to make the move as he discussed whether the Grizzlies or the Minnesota Timberwolves should go to the Eastern Conference amid the league's recent expansion news.
"There’s no great hotels in Memphis. I love the people but from a NBA standpoint, there’s not sauna or hot tub in site. Nowhere. Not at the gym, not at the spa, not at a hotel, nothing. So the NBA either needs to send them to Nashville so they can have proper facilities, or it should be mandatory that teams have at least a hot or cold tub in their visiting locker rooms.
"Get the Grizzlies the hell out of Memphis and send them to Nashville. ... Do us all a favor, Adam. Nobody will be upset. Not one person."
Along with the Timberwolves, the Grizzlies are expected to draw significant consideration for joining the East, as both Las Vegas and Seattle are on the West Coast.
The Grizzlies franchise was first in Vancouver upon its formation in 1995, but it was ultimately relocated to Memphis after six years.
Right now, the Grizzlies are heading towards a long-term rebuild. They are currently 11th in the West with a 23-44 record.
