The Memphis Grizzlies won’t be able to match whatever Jonathon Simmons will be offered. Whether an offer is made by the Spurs, or any other team trying to add an athletic defender that is more than capable of scoring, the Grizz might be left shorthanded in their pursuit. The “Chandler Parsons Project” really crippled the Grizzlies’ financial situation, but that doesn’t mean Simmons isn’t worth a look.
The Benefits
The Grizzlies don’t need another player that’s a streaky jump-shooter that thrives on defense. While Simmons may fit THAT mold, he also proved he can hit outside shots in succession.
