The Memphis Grizzlies and veteran guard D'Angelo Russell are expected to work towards parting ways - either via buyout or trade - this offseason, sources tell @YahooSports.
Memphis is going to be bad.
Going be a 3 team race for worst record: Memphis, Sacramento, New Orleans
I expect Memphis to be better than those teams.
They have good depth. Good balance. They should be a competitive team. A below average team but a decent outfit.
G: S Pippen Jr, Ty Jerome
G: C Coward
F: Jaylen Wells, Kris Murray
F: Cam Boozer, Jerami Grant
C: Z Edey, I Stewart
Others: W Clayton Jr, KCP, Cam Spencer, Karim Lopez, Q Post
I mean just look at those bigs. Z Edey, Cam Boozer and Isaiah Stewart are 3 quality big men. That should push them out of the cellar by themselves. Q Post as a 3rd stringer to deal with injuries. Jerami Grant as a combo forward who can play PF minutes where needed. That is a competitive group.
MEM do not need D Russell. They have S Pippen Jr, Ty Jerome, Walter Clayton Jr and Cam Spencer. So 4 PG options already. Whether D-Lo is on the team or not should not effect them. I would like to see a proper SG on the team especially since KCP is likely to be bought out although that process has been dragging on for almost 3 weeks now.
Lots of SF type talent. J Wells, Coward, Jerami Grant, Kris Murray, Karim Lopez. Coward will play SG. All natural SFs though. So good talent there as well. Low quality but serviceable talent at PG. The SG depth is the only real hole on the team.
You can go a long way without top tier talent with decent to average players throughout your team. Having quality depth. They should be closer to the 30-35 win range than the the 20-25 win range.
