The Memphis Grizzlies continued their 2021 offseason trend of turning heads with big-name trades with a deal that included three big-name veteran guards. You can read about the details of the trade here. In short, the deal swapped Eric Bledsoe, who hadn’t even suited up for the Grizzlies, for Patrick Beverley and Rajon Rondo.
The initial reaction to this trade, at least for myself, was confusion. Even so, the deeper of a dive you take into this one, the better it seems for Memphis.
