Why The Memphis Grizzlies Do The Deal
For Memphis, this boils down to a simple question:” roll, or pop?
We’ll elaborate. The Grizzlies currently run a system that typically features four-out spacing. Steven Adams is a perfect pick-and-roll partner for star point guard Ja Morant.
Would Morant be more effective with a shooter in place of the roll man?
We think so. Having a big man who forces the opposing team’s big onto the perimeter leaves the interior vulnerable. Meanwhile, going against Morant with a vulnerable interior is a recipe for disaster.

Meanwhile, the Grizzlies aren’t even losing Adams here. He’ll remain a valuable reserve. The team can mix and match between Porzingis, Jackson Jr., and Adams following this deal – the ability of the first two to shoot makes them versatile lineup options.
What kind of options does this deal give the Wizards?
