6. Memphis Grizzlies
Over the last couple of weeks, the Memphis Grizzlies have struggled mightily. The Grizzlies are just 3-8 in their last 11 games and need to get right before they fall too far down the Western Conference standings. The good news is that they had some wiggle room thanks to such a great start to the season.
Adding Luke Kennard at the NBA Trade Deadline will help the team’s overall shooting and add another scorer off the bench. But there’s no question that this team needs to figure out what is going wrong and correct it before things permanently go sideways.
My gut tells me that the Grizzlies are too good not to figure things out, but this downward trend couldn’t have come at a worse time considering the big moves that were made by Western Conference teams at the trade deadline.
