The Memphis Grizzlies have had a long string of trades this offseason. None of them have involved any star players, though the very first deal involving Jonas Valanciunas and Steven Adams made some waves in the league for a few weeks.
Generally speaking, the deals that the Grizzlies have made have been difficult to interpret immediately. Five of the players that Memphis traded for are no longer on the roster, meaning that many of the deals were a means to an end.
As a result, it’s easier to interpret some of these weeks, even months, after the fact.
