Most teams have a complement of good and/or at least role players surrounding their core

The Grizzlies have a chasm .. from the main 3 to absolute sucktitude

It all started after the 2022 season when the King decided to draft three pathetic rooks and putting them in the rotation, rather than seizing the opportunity of a contending window opening early.

Grizzlies' Morant doing grenade celebration until it's 'a problem'. Morant, who was 5-of-13 from 3-point range, in some cases even covered his ears after the windmill-like hurl of the invisible explosive.

"That's my celebration now until somebody else has a problem with it, and I'll find another one," Morant said after Thursday's shootaround.

It started with Winslow. OKC had cap space and took bad salaries and leveraged those draft picks into their core rotation. We got Justise. Justise was more injury prone than Chandler Parsons.

Then it was Ziaire. Team needed a big wing that could shoot. Trey Murphy was a big wing that could shoot. Team could have used cap space like OKC but instead took on 68 million in bad contracts to move up to take a guy who would have been there at 17 or even 27...

Then it was the 2 for 1 plan. Trade Melton for Roddy and use those proceeds to extend Jitty. Roddy would have been there at pick 50 in the 2nd round. 1 rotation piece for a non rotation piece and the captain of the YMCA team sponsored by Golden Corral.

Team needed a big. Kessler was there. Team took offensively deficient white guy who couldnt shoot in LaRavia right after they extended another one. At least Jitty can rebound and defend....

Marcus Smart was broken down so of course you trade for him and give up Tyus and a couple of firsts. Plus another first to get rid of his deal.

But the biggest issue of all is Ja. 3 years ago, he was a better player than SGA. SGA worked on his craft. Ja still cant shoot, is a wannabe gangster, and doesnt care about winning basketball....
