Grit N Grind gave way to a new era of Memphis Grizzlies basketball, and no time is being wasted ushering it in. After years of lateral and backward movement, former GM Chris Wallace was canned; demoted to scouting.
In his stead, Rich Cho and Glen Grunwald have been off to a torrid start, pulling off deals of all magnitudes with both short and long-term implications. Gone are Mike Conley and Chandler Parsons, staples of everything that was both right and wrong with Memphis’ franchise. Cho and Grunwald have heavily shaken up Memphis’ lineup and salary sheet, adding both movable units and potential core pieces.
