Memphis - coming off a 60-loss campaign, the Grizzlies have regained a winning stride this summer.
The team’s offseason makeover and upgrade took another big swing with Tuesday’s trade to acquire well-respected, veteran swingman Garrett Temple from the Kings in exchange for center Deyonta Davis, guard Ben McLemore, a future second-round pick and cash considerations.
Before breaking down the particulars, know this: this was another significant score for the Grizzlies.
At the very least, it’s a case of addition by subtraction. The Grizzlies were headed toward September training camp with 16 players under either full or partially guaranteed traditional NBA contracts, which is one above the league limit of 15 for the start of the regular season.
