As has become an annual trend, the Memphis Grizzlies are a team that is coming up as a destination for some of the NBA’s stars. Even though Memphis hasn’t made a blockbuster trade to bring in strong talent just yet, the way their squad is trending has experts believing that they’ll become a team that does just that.
Right now, the Grizzlies have a strong young core. They made the playoffs as the youngest squad competing, but seem to be just short. Ideally, they’d be able to sign a second star player to join Ja Morant, who carried the team on his back to the NBA Playoffs, where he averaged over 30 points per game, a higher total than any Memphis Grizzlies player ever.
