The Memphis Grizzlies are poised for big moves, eyeing the possibility of trading their No. 9 overall draft pick to snag a seasoned player who could push them into the contender tier in the Western Conference this offseason.
The Memphis Grizzlies just had a brutal 2023-24 NBA campaign. After winning over 50 games in the previous season, the Grizzlies took a huge step back and went just 27-55 due to a number of factors.
Now that the season is officially over for Donovan Mitchell and the Cleveland Cavaliers, teams are lining up in hopes of luring away the 5x All-Star. The latest team on the list is the Memphis Grizzlies, who have emerged as a dark-horse contender to pair Mitchell with their franchise face, Ja Morant.
The 2003 NBA Draft was one of the most anticipated drafts the league has ever seen and there was one reason for this... LeBron James. The Memphis Grizzlies finished the 2002-03 season with a 28-54 record, which was the sixth worst record in the league.
After what was considered a “gap year,” the Memphis Grizzlies “are expected to explore the potential return for the No. 9 pick,” per ESPN’s Zach Lowe. The Grizzlies went 27-55 in 2023-24.

After finishing 27-55 this past season, the casual observer may have thought that a rebuilding phase was coming for the Memphis Grizzlies. However, the team is rumored to be approaching the upcoming NBA Draft like a contender.
It wasn’t that long ago when the Memphis Grizzlies finished as the two seed in the Western Conference with a 51-31 record. In fact, that was only a year ago.
The debate for the greatest NBA player of all time is a long-time topic that will likely never end. From Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to Michael Jordan to LeBron James, so many players who have stepped onto an NBA court are deserving of the “GOAT” title.

The 2023-24 season was a lost one for the Memphis Grizzlies. After three straight seasons of making the playoffs, everything that could go wrong for them went wrong.
This has been quite the year for the Memphis Grizzlies and Ja Morant. A 25-game suspension to begin the 2023-24 season overshadowed the young star’s accomplishments on the court, as the impact of his Instagram Live video where he was seen flashing a gun at the camera raised serious questions about his commitment to the league as a whole.
According to Memphis Grizzlies beat reporter Damichael Cole, the team has announced they will retire former guard Tony Allen‘s No. 9 jersey number next season.
While Morant’s schedule has been pretty open for some time with the Grizzlies winning just 27 games, the Memphis star isn’t done dealing with NBA officials.

There has been no shortage of amazing highlights and sneakers throughout this year's NBA Playoffs. Yet, it still does not feel the same without Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant lighting up the scoreboard and the sneaker message boards.
Ja Morant has been one of the most active players on social meida over the previous few years. The Memphis Grizzlies star has over 2.8 million followers on X (formerly Twitter), and has liked nearly 20,000 posts since joining the platform.
The Memphis Grizzlies had to settle for a losing season after losing Ja Morant to a season-ending injury. It’s been a tough season for Morant as he had to deal with a 25-game suspension before he was able to play nine games for the Grizzlies.
The 2024 NBA season hasn’t quite been the same without one of the league’s brightest talents in Ja Morant, but the young All-Star has made his presence felt in the locker room for his Memphis Grizzlies.
It has been a season to forget for Ja Morant, as his Memphis Grizzlies failed to make it to playoffs, and it didn’t help that he missed games due to suspension and his season-ending shoulder injury.
He intends to leave the NBA to play in his home country of Japan for the 2024-25 season.
