Commissioner Reacts to CF’s Stunning Return to Memphis: “Shocking. Unbelievable. Never Saw This Coming.”


NBN Headquarters – In a turn of events that has absolutely no precedent whatsoever, short-time Memphis Grizzlies GM CF has decided that, actually, he’s not leaving after all.

Grizzlies owner meem broke the news to the league on Saturday, stating, “CF confirmed with me today that he will be returning as my GM. Excellent news!” The announcement comes just weeks after CF himself had publicly declared that this offseason would mark the end of his tenure in Memphis.

League Commissioner Chuck, when reached for comment, was stunned—or at least, he played along as if he were.

"Shocking. Unbelievable. Never saw this coming," Chuck deadpanned, before reportedly having to pause for a moment to recover from the sheer unexpectedness of it all.

CF’s “will he, won’t he” act has become something of an offseason tradition in the NBN, with his name perennially surfacing in discussions of potential vacancies—only for him to ultimately decide that Memphis is still the place to be. Some around the league have started referring to CF’s retirement plans as the Grizzlies’ Last Dance: Extended Cut.

With CF back in the fold, Memphis can now shift its focus to the upcoming season, looking to build on their recent successes. But one thing’s for sure—until the first tip-off of next season, nobody in the NBN will truly believe CF is staying.

Just in case, meem might want to keep that “Help Wanted” sign within reach.

NBN Trade Deadline Grades by NotChris

This year’s trade deadline failed to reach the heights of its IRL counterpart, but how could it? That’s like comparing Beyonce to a 35-year-old soccer mom. Sure, soccer moms can be fun and a little wild. But it’s Beyonce , man.  There were some big names moved, but teams improved around the margins more than anything at the deadline. Many bigger moves were made much earlier in the year. Here, I will focus on breaking down the deadline-adjacent trades, starting with… Trade 59: WAS receives: Khris Middleton, Victor Oladipo, Jalen Hood-Schifino, 2026 LAC 2nd MIL receives: James Harden Milwaukee: A- This deal makes a ton of sense for Milwaukee. They’re a middling team at the moment, sitting a hair above the play-in. They have been relying way too much on Oladipo for years and were playing him out of position at point guard. Replacing him with Harden (an actual PG) should do wonders for the Milwaukee offense.  Harden obviously isn’t the player he once was. However, he is still a gr...

Not Chris 2025 NBN Mock Draft

Welcome to my 2025 NBN Mock Draft, which will definitely be outdated by the time I publish it! Not projecting any trades because teams are crazy and too hard to predict. TLDR at bottom.  1. Houston Rockets - Cooper Flagg, F, Duke No brainer here. Flagg is by far the best player in this draft, and one of the best prospects we’ve seen in the last 10 years. Houston’s tank paid off, and they get a do-it-all forward with a Jordan-esque competitive drive to build around.  2. Charlotte Hornets - Dylan Harper, G, Rutgers Charlotte pulled a stunner earlier this week, trading picks 5, 6, and Zach Edey to Dallas for the #2 pick, where they will likely select Dylan Harper. Harper is a 6’6 intelligent guard with All-Star upside. He will pair nicely with Paolo Banchero as another dynamic playmaker with scoring punch, this time with more shooting upside. This move signals Charlotte’s intent to move off All-Star LaMelo Ball (who they sneakily gave up a lot for; Stephon Castle, Nik...
