The 2015-16 season has definitely been a roller-coaster for the Memphis Grizzlies. They started out slow by trying to embrace the contemporary NBA, then bounced back with their “Grit ‘n Grind” philosophy, only to end the season with an excessive amount of injuries.
After surviving the end of the season to capture the seventh seed in the West, they were unfairly dismantled by arguably the greatest version of the San Antonio Spurs in their dynasty reign.
Now, the offseason presents a chance to finally embrace the “modern NBA” and to stay relevant in the West with juggernauts Golden State and San Antonio, consistent franchises Oklahoma City and Los Angeles Clippers and rising teams Minnesota, New Orleans, Portland, and Utah.
