The Memphis Grizzlies promoted Tayshaun Prince to Vice President of Basketball Affairs.

“We are excited to establish Tayshaun as a core member of our front office. His knowledge of the game is exceptional and we are thrilled he will continue providing valuable contributions to the organization on a day-to-day basis," said Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Zachary Z. Kleiman. 

Prince's move comes as part of a summer long rebuild of the Grizzlies' front office. 

Tobias Harris is expected to receive significant interest in free agency this offseason.

While the Philadelphia 76ers will attempt to re-sign Harris following their midseason acquisition, the Memphis Grizzlies, Utah Jazz, Dallas Mavericks and Brooklyn Nets are also expected to pursue Harris.

“It would be selfish of me to not come into this situation with an open mind to make this work for the long term,” Harris told The Athletic in March. “That’s where my mindset is at. I’m a loyal guy to where I am, and if I feel that loyalty back, that is how I operate. For me, it’s just making it work here and figuring out how it will go. So far, it’s been really good. Gotta show that loyalty.”

Rich Cho has joined the Memphis Grizzlies in an official capacity after consulting for them this season.

“I had done some part-time work for the Grizzlies during the season, just studying the league and best practices around different teams, starting last September, I started looking around the league, analyzing every team in a number of different categories,” said Cho.

Memphis executive vice president of basketball operations Zach Kleiman interned for Cho with the Charlotte Hornets just seven years ago.

“Yeah, he reached out to me pretty quickly,” Cho said. “Zach did a really good job for us in Charlotte as an intern, he’s a really bright guy and he’s passionate about the game. He’s an extremely hard worker. I’ve watched his career progress from afar and I’m really happy the way things have gone for him, especially that he’s getting this opportunity.”

Kleiman is only 30 years old.

“I don’t think you can necessarily look at a person’s age and say they can’t do the job, because it’s all about opportunity and Zach’s going to do a really good job here,” Cho said.

Cho gives the Grizzlies experience in the front office.

“I’ll be involved in a lot of different aspects of basketball operations,” Cho said. “I’ll be overseeing analytics, all the salary cap administration, and I’ll be advising on player personnel issues, any type of player acquisitions.”

The Memphis Grizzlies have hired Rich Cho as VP of Basketball Strategy and Glen Grunwald as Senior Advisors.

The Grizzlies demoted both Chris Wallace and John Hollinger this offseason.

Cho was previously general manager of the Charlotte Hornets and Portland Trail Blazers. Grunwald also was previously GM of the New York Knicks.

Memphis recently promoted Zach Kleiman to VP of Basketball Operations and is leading the day-to-day operations for the Grizzlies.

The Memphis Grizzlies have demoted Chris Wallace and John Hollinger while elevating Jason Wexler to president.

Wallace and Hollinger will assume scouting and senior advisory roles. Wallace joined the Grizzlies in 2007.

Wexler will oversee basketball and business operations.

The franchise is planning to add experienced front-office executives to the organization.

"In order to put our team on the path to sustainable success, it was necessary to change our approach to basketball operations," team chairman Robert Pera said in a statement. "I look forward to a re-energized front office and fresh approach to Memphis Grizzlies basketball under new leadership, while retaining the identity and values that have distinguished our team."

The Memphis Grizzlies have fired J.B. Bickerstaff as head coach.

Bickerstaff, 40, was 48-97 in two seasons with the Grizzlies, never making the playoffs. 

Bickerstaff was also interim head coach of the Houston Rockets in 15-16.

Joakim Noah has had a bounce back season with the Memphis Grizzlies after a disappointing two-year stint with the New York Knicks.

"Memphis was the only team that showed me any consideration," Noah said.

Noah finished fourth in MVP voting in 2014, but he's more proud of the way he worked his way back with the Grizzlies.

"I'm more proud of this year than I was when I was an All-Star," Noah said. "I lost my confidence on the court in a real public way. You don't know if you are going to get that back. Just to have that feeling back -- to be able to be myself, and express myself on the court -- it feels great."

Noah was asked whether he feels his performance this season will earn him a roster spot somewhere next season.

"F--- yeah," said Noah.

Jerry Stackhouse has agreed to a six-year deal to become head coach of Vanderbilt.

Stackhouse spent this season as an assistant coach with the Memphis Grizzlies.

Stackhouse was a head coaching candidate last season for the Toronto Raptors, New York Knicks, Orlando Magic and Detroit Pistons.

The Memphis Grizzlies have agreed to sign Tyler Zeller for the remainder of the season. Memphis will waive Dusty Hannahs.

Zeller appeared in two games with the Atlanta Hawks in March.

Zeller was waived by the Milwaukee Bucks in October.

Jonas Valanciunas will miss the rest of the season after suffering a Grade 2 ankle sprain.

The team announced that surgery will not be necessary.

Valanciunas averaged 19.9 pounds and 10.7 rebounds in 19 games since getting traded to the Grizzlies.
