The Grizzlies recently decided to let go of their scouts, according to the Memphis Commercial Appeal.

"I prefer a smaller group," Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace told the Commercial Appeal.

Last season, the team had five full-time amateur scouts.

They still have a part-time scout to keep an eye on players in Europe, but they don't plan to make any hires heading into the 2009-10 season.

"We had a restructuring," said Wallace.
