Monday marks the annual NBA Media Day for the Memphis Grizzlies. Training Camp immediately follows, beginning on Tuesday.
Memphis is sitting pretty in the hours prior to the official start of the 2018-19 season. Not all other NBA franchises can say the same, namely the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Grizzlies are not breaking headlines because of their top players getting into feuds with teammates, coaches, and other team personnel. Memphis’ players are not demanding trades as training camp prepares to open. For this, Grizz Nation must be thankful.
In the case of the Timberwolves, all the momentum they built by reaching the postseason in 2017-18 is being washed away.
