Memphis Grizzlies: A fresh start
While the Memphis Grizzlies are in the thick of the Western Conference playoff picture, but something doesn’t feel right about this team. Sure, they still have some old faces in Marc Gasol and Mike Conley, but this team is sorely in need of a rebuild.
They don’t fit in the new NBA, and I’m not sure if there’s anything that they could do to change that in the middle of this “win-now” mold. They have a nice young piece in Jaren Jackson Jr., who could very well be the second or third player to come out of this draft, but his timeline simply doesn’t fit with the likes of Conley and Gasol.
I understand that the Grizzlies want to field competitive team for the city of Memphis, but this team needs to blow up this roster. A fresh start would go a long way in this team’s long-term outlook.
