Ja Morant, Memphis Grizzlies (Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports)
With the 2021-22 NBA season just around the corner, the Memphis Grizzlies are preparing to enter training camp to prepare for the first full, uninterrupted 82-game season since 2019.
While it’s every team’s goal to compete for an NBA championship each year, there are usually only a dozen or so teams that have serious expectations to be in contention.
The Memphis Grizzlies are not quite there yet. This Memphis squad is still a few key pieces away from having those high expectations; however, a major trade could quickly change those expectations.
