The Memphis Grizzlies joined the NBA as an expansion team in 1995 and are still searching for their first championship. They made seven straight playoff appearances during the Grit and Grind era, but never advanced past the conference finals. The new era led by Ja Morant has plenty of promise but is still a few pieces away from contending for a title.
The Grizzlies moved on from Dillon Brooks and Tyus Jones and upgraded to Marcus Smart. Will that be enough to get them in the thick of the hunt?
