Dave Joerger's migration from Memphis to Sacramento produced ripples in the seas of the NBA, which have already reached the shoreline of Boston Harbor.
Buried among Boston's treasure trove of assets is a Grizzlies future first-round pick, which can be conveyed in 2019 at the earliest (the pick is top eight protected in 2019, top six in 2020, and unprotected in 2021).
Mike Conley is a free agent this summer. Marc Gasol is 31 years old and coming off a major foot injury. Zach Randolph and Tony Allen are free agents after next season. With a lack of youthful talent, a less than desirable free agent location, and an aging team, one must wonder if the Grizzlies, despite making the playoffs for six-straight seasons, could be on the verge of a collapse.
