Every year trade rumors abound for most of the NBA teams including the Memphis Grizzlies. The Grizzlies have had trade rumors since they moved from Vancouver, Canada to Memphis.
The reason is because before the Memphis Grizzlies were in Memphis they were from Vancouver, British Columbia. They got the Grizzly Bear mascot because the Grizzly Bear was Native to the land so they adopted it for their mascot.
