Team: Memphis Grizzlies.
2021-22 season record: 56 wins and 26 losses.
Main offer: Danny Green
Major losses: Carl Anderson, Melton
Major Renewal: Morant, Tyus Jones, Adams
Operation resumption: this summer, the operation of the grizzly bear was very few. The team only reached a deal with 76 people and sent Melton to get Danny Green and the first round sign No. 23 (David Roddy was selected). In addition, the team renewed the contract with Morant, Jones, Adams and others, and released Carl Anderson.
Operations to be discussed & key nodes of the team
There is no doubt that grizzly bears are always very young teams with a group of young people with good talent-but Morant is the only one in the league’s top talent. In this case, the author thinks that there is a better way to “change money”, that is, to package and trade some young players who are not top talents with the right to choose to get top players, he and Morant form “grizzly twin stars” or “grizzly bear three Giants”.
However, the grizzly bear did not do so. The team just sent Melton away through trading, getting Danny Green who suffered a tear of the left knee’s anterior crossover ligament and lateral collateral ligament during the playoffs this year, plus rookie David Roddy. There is a high probability that Tielin will have to recover until next year, and rookie Roddy is also difficult to provide the team with combat power immediately. Plus the released Carl Anderson, in this way, the overall fighting power of the grizzly bear is not as good as last season-of course, the progress of the team’s young people can make up for Melton and sledge-hammer’s departure to some extent, but the grizzly bear’s practice this summer remains to be discussed, after all, they are already a playoff team, but they have not been able to make up better.
At present, there are rookie contracts in the Grizzlies team: Clark, Bain, Zairian, Morante, etc. The team’s salary space is profit-making period. In my opinion, Grizzlies need to make good use of this profit-making period, otherwise, when these players have to execute the second contract, it is difficult for the team to have room for reinforcement.
Little Jaron’s health problems
In the past two seasons, little Jaron Jackson played only 57 games and 58 games respectively. In July this year, he underwent the right foot stress fracture repair surgery and was expected to be absent for 4-6 months. While Carl Anderson, who had replaced little Jaron in the first place when he was injured, has left the team. Can others stand up to fill this vacancy? Can Little Jaron come back in time in the middle of the season and play the 2022-23 season playoff healthily?
The team’s overall combat power
In fact, this topic was mentioned earlier. The grizzly bear did not have any major reinforcement action this summer. If the team wants to improve its fighting ability, it can only hope for the growth and progress of young players, this is a difficult thing to estimate. The grizzly bear ranked second in the West with 56 wins and 26 losses last season, and fought with the champion Warriors in the semi-finals of the West for many games. However, this summer there was no major reinforcement, the upper limit and lower limit of the team in the new season are still unknown-If JJJ’s return is not timely, no one will stand up in the team’s power forward position, and Adams, who is easy to be targeted, there is a big hidden danger in the inside of the grizzly bear in the new season, at present, the author is not optimistic about their achievements last season, but NBA is a place full of uncertainty, which is also the charm of NBA. What is the fighting power of grizzly bear in the new season, it is worth observing.
