Why The Memphis Grizzlies Do The Deal

Yes, the Memphis Grizzlies give up a massive package in this deal. If they decide it’s worth it, nobody could blame them.

After all, no expense can be spared in pursuit of an NBA championship.

This deal ought to put them in serious contention for one. Yes, Lillard is a point guard, as is Grizzlies superstar Ja Morant. In today’s positionless league, that’s immaterial. Lillard is no conventional point guard. He essentially already operates as an off-guard. His off-ball gravity will do wonders for Morant’s drives to the basket.

Combined, they’ll give the Grizzlies some of the most offensive power in one backcourt in the NBA. They were hard to contain last season: they’d be downright impossible to stop in 2022-23 if they made this deal.
