Grizzlies Weigh Trade of Russell | Memphis Grizzlies News

DAngelo Russell’s Grizzlies tenure may be nearing its end as his underwhelming performance and injury-riddled season make him a low-value trade asset—teams won’t pay top dollar, but a future second-round pick could still be worth the gamble. With no immediate pressure, Memphis can wait and see if he rebounds early in the year—or cash in now on minimal returns.

Grizzlies Snag Post, Warriors Pay Price | Memphis Grizzlies News

The Grizzlies pulled off a savvy offseason move by landing Quinten Post, a stretch big who could be the perfect fit for their frontcourt. With LeBron James heading West, the Warriors missed their chance to land both him and Post — a double whammy that leaves Memphis reaping the rewards. Post’s offensive upside, especially from beyond the arc, paired with his defensive potential, makes him a valuable bench spark. Despite a slight dip in shooting last season, his track record and Memphis’ knack for developing talent suggest he’s poised to thrive — and could be the next big success story in the paint.
