Memphis Grizzles

  • Key Players Added: Chandler Parsons
  • Key Players Lost: Jeff Green
  • Key Players Re-signed: Mike Conley

Player like Mike Conley are expensive under the new cap. Deal with it.  Memphis had to resign Conley if they wanted to remain a playoff team, because they probably were not getting any of the other top-tier free agents.  They way overpaid for Chandler Parsons.  But, he will make a solid starter to round out the top 5 in the absence of Jeff Green, who signed with Orlando.  If this team can stay healthy they will look something like the Grizzlies from the first half of last season.

Grade: B-
