PORTLAND – For the Grizzlies, it’s time to talk.

Memphis is mired in a bit of a mess right now. Nagging injuries are piling up, scoring for what’s always been an execution-challenged offense is now way down and the team is still trying to regain its collective emotional balance after a botched trade last weekend shook the locker room.
