NBA Commisioner David Stern has given Vancouver Grizzlies’ owner Michael Heisley permission to look into the possibility of moving his team to another city. St. Louis is being mentioned as one of those cities being considered. This speculation is fueled by the fact that St. Louis Blues owner Bill Laurie attempted to buy the Grizzlies in September of 1999. In addition to St. Louis, New Orleans and Nashville have been mentioned as posible new homes for the Grizzlies.
