This news is not surprising, as former CEO Jason Levien, who handled basketball operations on behalf of the Grizzlies, was fired earlier this month.
Long-time GM Chris Wallace is currently handling basketball decisions on an interim basis. He could potentially shed the "interim" tag, according to Grizzlies owner Robert Pera.
@jwgerber6 We are conducting a search now. Whether we decide on Chris or not for GM, I want him in the organization in some capacity
