Memphis Grizzlies
G: Mike Conley
G: Tony Allen
F: Shareef Abdur-Rahim
F: Zach Randolph
C: Marc Gasol
The question with the Grizzlies: Who should be the final player to fill out a lineup that features the Grit 'n' Grind mainstays called the Core Four? (I'd make a joke about Chandler Parsons' max contract, but I want to be welcomed back to Memphis.)
Based purely on merit, Pau Gasol would be the pick, but he doesn't fit alongside his brother Marc at center and Randolph at power forward. So we will go with Abdur-Rahim, who was a really good player for some really bad teams in Vancouver, averaging 20.8 points and 8.2 rebounds per game over five seasons in which the Grizzlies went a combined 86-292.

I would say yes to Winslow. They still have two months to workout together before playing. Not starting until July 31 is mind blowing.Surprised Vernon and company were okay with this model. I disagree that the Grizz have a significant advantage, but they are advantaged (and should be as the current 8 over ~64 games).
Wonder if they try to use Winslow?
