Right now, the Memphis Grizzlies find themselves in a unique spot. After a handful of trades to keep the offseason interesting, the Grizz now have 18 rostered players — three over the league’s maximum of 15.
It’s unclear what Memphis plans to do to remedy this situation but one thing is clear — they need to get a few players off of the books before the start of the season. This shouldn’t be difficult, as there are a handful of guys who were brought over in trade packages by the Grizzlies simply to get a deal done.
