    Memphis Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins has no contractual obligation to the franchise beyond this season, but he is hopeful he'll get to keep coaching what he's helped build in Memphis.

    "There's no question," Hollins told ESPN, when asked if he hoped to be back with the Grizzlies after the season. "When you build something, you want to see it through to the fruition of it all.

    "Hopefully, we'll win a championship at the end of the year. But that would just be a starting point. Then you want to be a perennial championship contender."

    Hollins said his contract situation hasn't bothered him all season, and won't be a distraction to him or his team going forward. He's focused on the playoffs and nothing else right now as the Grizzlies prepare for Game 3 of their Western Conference semifinal series against Oklahoma City.
