Would this trade make sense for the Memphis Grizzlies?
The Memphis Grizzlies made a respectable run in a loaded Western Conference to earn a playoff spot last season. However, a big move could be needed in order to take a few steps forward.
Taking a significant risk could be required for the Grizzlies to add such a talent given they are a small market franchise. Could a Ben Simmons trade be on the list of potential moves?
Simmons’ lack of ability to shoot the ball has been a concern. He would have the chance to play off the ball with the Grizzlies with Morant running the show. This would benefit both sides as Simmons can focus on defense and moving without the ball. He is still an elite passer and has a high IQ.
The Grizzlies have been rebuilding for years now and have the necessary pieces in place to compete. Simmons could help with that notion further. There are stars needed to compete and Memphis could add more here to get them up the standings a bit.

The Western Conference is not going to get any easier to navigate. The Grizzlies have to make sure they keep up and can do so by making some deals in order to build a strong lineup.
