Why This Trade Would Benefit The Memphis Grizzlies
This is a Memphis Grizzlies team that is right on the cusp of the NBA postseason. With their current roster, they feel like they are a contender in the Western Conference. This begins with players like Morant and Dillon Brooks. Bradley Beal will continue this rebuild of the roster and take them to the next level.
Beal averaged a career-high 30.5 points per game last season. He is off to another hot start, including a 60-point performance against the Philadelphia 76ers. He is a game-changing player that can help any team he is traded to. Right now, time is being wasted in Washington.
Beal would benefit from a change of scenery and the Grizzlies could use his star power. Ja Morant and Beal would make up one of the top backcourts in the league while having Jaren Jackson Jr. in the frontcourt to add an intriguing all-around dynamic.
If the Grizzlies are serious about contending, they need to make a deal such as this one. They have the assets that it takes to get done. It will be interesting to see what happens in the upcoming weeks.
