The Golden State Warriors are hoping to measure themselves against a stacked Western Conference this season. If the improved Houston Rockets trade for disgruntled point guard Ja Morant, the Warriors and their fans should cheer.
Golden State has had their fair share of postseason run-ins with this iteration of the Memphis Grizzlies, from defeating them in a full playoff series to multiple encounters in the Play-In Tournament. Ja Morant has been an explosive foe that they have had to game plan around -- but also a flawed star with weaknesses the Warriors could exploit.
The Grizzlies have taken at least one step back, so they are not on the list of teams the Warriors expect to do battle with for the Western Conference crown.
