Why the Trade Benefits the Memphis Grizzlies
The Memphis Grizzlies could be a surprise team that inserts itself in the Victor Oladipo sweepstakes. They are a team right on the horizon of the playoffs in the Western Conference and an all-star like Oladipo could help them get to the next level.
This would create a dynamic backcourt in Memphis. Morant emerged as a star during his first season in the league. The Grizzlies would pair him with Oladipo in hopes of taking the next step towards the postseason.
Memphis would also have the option of what to do with Oladipo next year. He would enter free agency and the team could look to sign him long term and solidify their lineup.
This is a move for a struggling team looking to rebuild quickly. Oladipo is a leader on the floor and would help take the Grizzlies to the next level.
