Why The Memphis Grizzlies Do The Deal
Some Grizzlies fans will protest too. Why move Bane for a player who gets hurt so frequently?
It’s a fair question. If the Grizzlies were squeamish about this trade, that would be understandable. At the same time, fortune has a way of favoring the brave.
Let’s talk about what Leonard is. When healthy, he’s arguably the best two-way player in basketball. Leonard is a 3-and-D wing who can create shots for himself from all 3 levels. This is a legitimate superstar.
Adding him could push the Grizzlies over the top. Parting with Bane stings, but if Leonard can get right for one season, the Grizzlies could walk away with an NBA championship.
