Santa Barbara, CA - I remember exactly where I was when I found out that the Grizzlies had traded for Matt Barnes.
I was on the seventh fairway at Stonebridge Golf Club with my next-door neighbor (and former PGA Tour pro) John Melnick. John and his wife are big Grizzlies fans, often sitting with my wife at home games and hosting her in their living room when the Grizzlies are on the road.
“Hey John,” I called out as soon as I got the text. “You’re not going to believe this, but we just got Matt Barnes.
