Anthony finished the 2024-25 season with averages of 9.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.9 assists per contest while shooting 42.4% from the field and 35.3% from the three-point range in 67 games.

He could be a productive guard for a team to bring off their bench.

Via @ohokvontae : "Brandon Clarke, Cole Anthony, and John Konchar are making a total of 34 million dollars this season.

Not to mention the 10+ million you will probably have to pay Santi Aldama to keep him.

44+ million wrapped up in those players. They either need to produce or they have to go."

The Grizzlies finished the season as the eighth seed in the Western Conference with a 48-34 record (they beat the Dallas Mavericks in the play-in tournament).

Despite making the 2025 NBA playoffs, the Grizzlies were swept by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round.
