Grindfather Tony Allen Signed a Deal to Play for the New Orleans Pelicans

Grizzlies, Grit and Grind no more

First Zach Randolph, now Tony Allen. The Grizzlies that we know will be different this coming season as many of the players that gave them the identity of Grit and Grind will no longer be wearing the Grizzlies jersey.

Zach Randolph who had been with Memphis since 2009 will be playing for Sacramento and now Tony Allen reportedly signed a 2.3 million deal to play along side Rajon Rondo and two of the best big men in the NBA today, Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins.

Tony Allen will bring his hard nose defense and will surely contribute on and off the court with his veteran leadership.
