08:14 AM ET 08.15 | Stay tuned, folks -- Memphis' ownership may become at least a little more complicated. As much as one-third of the Grizzlies could be owned by local partners as part of prospective owner Robert Pera's bid to buy the team, sources close to Pera told The Commercial Appeal. Pera's associates insist that the 34-year-old CEO of Ubiquiti Networks isn't pushing for local partners because he needs to, but because he wants to collaborate with Memphians for the franchise's overall good. In addition to local partners, the group also could include out-of-town partners, said the sources, who requested anonymity because they have not been authorized to speak on Pera's behalf.
