Due to GM Zach Kleiman's trade and free agency moves, the Memphis Grizzlies appear poised for another successful season in 2023-24, despite Ja Morant's impending ban.
Despite their current condition, Knicks Film School believes the front office may be interested in one more move in the near future.
The New York Knicks are attempting to trade $73 million sharpshooter Evan Fournier, but Hoops Hype's Micahel Scotto says their latest multi-team transaction failed.
On July 24, KFS podcast contributor Jeremey Cohen suggested the Grizzlies intervene as a third party in a hypothetical Fournier deal, using the remaining $7.4 million from the Dillon Brooks TPE from the sign-and-trade with the Houston Rockets as a luxury.
Cohen suggested that “they’ve already got a pretty full roster” and that “they need to consolidate,” but Macri countered that they've done similar exchanges in the past, such as the Andre Iguodala deal in 2019, for draft capital.
Could this be another chance for the front office to hoard picks?
