DETROIT – As Memphis executives sort through trade scenarios involving leading scorer Tyreke Evans, the Grizzlies pressed forward on a four-game trip with Thursday’s stop to face a new-look Pistons team that executed the biggest blockbuster move of the season ... so far.
Superstar power forward Blake Griffin made his Detroit debut against the Grizzlies on Thursday, three days after he was acquired by the Pistons as the centerpiece of a trade that also sent Tobias Harris and Avery Bradley to the Los Angeles Clippers.
Meanwhile, the Grizzlies are in the midst of their own major adjustment in anticipation of a trade being finalized in the coming days.
