27. Memphis Grizzlies (13-28)

All indications thus far seem to point to this team running it back next season. Whether that’s a mistake or not remains to be seen, but after firing Dave Fizdale earlier this year there’s no way that this team could’ve turned around and start a fire sale.

Trading their veterans, which still hold value on the open market, is probably the best move overall for this franchise – Marc Gasol’s trade value will never be higher than it is at the moment. But somehow they believe this Grizzlies core has one more go around.
