Why The Memphis Grizzlies Do The Deal 

On the other hand, the Grizzlies truly looked the part of title contenders in 2021-22. They have overcome some obstacles to remain among the best in the Western Conference already this season.

The calculus for the Grizzlies here would be to make them even more challenging to stop as they aim to take the next step toward being major title contenders. Zach LaVine would make them very intriguing.

Imagine trying to contain this perimeter? With Morant’s passing instincts and LaVine’s scoring abilities, the Grizzlies would force teams to pick their poison. They’d have two hyper-athletic guards who could attack the rim at will – and often make different decisions once they get there.

Let’s not forget that the Grizzlies have Desmond Bane, who looks to have taken even more steps forward in his development this season. Having a trio of that caliber on the perimeter would be more than enough to give the rest of the NBA fits.
