The 2007-08 NBA season is the 13th season in Grizzlies history, seventh in Memphis and fourth in FedExForum. The franchise moved to Memphis in 2001 following six seasons in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and played their first three seasons in Memphis in The Pyramid Arena.

Grizzlies Majority Owner Michael Heisley spearheaded both the move to Memphis and construction of the $250-million, state-of-the art FedExForum.

Working in conjunction with Heisley are the franchise’s six local owners: Pitt and Barbara Hyde, Fred Jones, Elliot Perry, Andy Cates and Staley Cates. Grizzlies management is led by Gene Bartow, one of the most knowledgeable and successful talents in the basketball world. Bartow is in his seventh year in the Grizzlies organization and first as President of Hoops LP. The basketball operations department is run by General Manager and Vice President of Basketball Operations Chris Wallace, who’s in his first season in Memphis following 10 seasons as general manager of the Boston Celtics.

On the floor, Marc Iavaroni is in his first season as a head coach after a successful run as the lead assistant with the Phoenix Suns. As a player, he was a member of the 1983 Philadelphia 76ers team that won the NBA title. His staff is rounded out by assistant coaches Johnny Davis, Gordon Chiesa, Andy Greer, David Joerger and Ron DuBois.

The team is led by Pau Gasol, the franchise’s all-time leader in numerous categories, including scoring. Gasol is also the only player in Grizzlies’ history to be selected to an All-Star Game. He’s flanked by former Rookie and Sixth Man of the Year Mike Miller, second year phenom Rudy Gay and point guard Michael Conley, the fourth overall pick in the 2007 NBA Draft.
