Clippers are saving about $30 million in luxury tax with this trade.

Patrick Beverly could never escape the large shadow that Eric Bledsoe had cast on the Grizzlies basketball court. It's like no matter what Pat Bev gave the city of Memphis, the Grizzlies fans always pointed out that Bledsoe wouldn't have taken that shot or turned the ball over or pushed that player in the back. Bledsoe's time as a Grizzly probably was a big reason why Pat Bev isn't in Memphis today.

Minnesota gets the toughness and leadership of Beverley for its young, developing roster. Gersson Rosas had Beverley on his team with Rockets and knows what he brings. Memphis continues to add talent along the margins, including Culver, who's only 22 and a former No. 6 pick.

Filed under related to Memphis and the NBA:

Two big hires in Memphis this week as Rasheed Wallace joined Penny Hardaway and Larry Brown on the Memphis Tigers staff.

Bonzai Wells joined an HBCU located in Memphis.


And any deep NBA fans will connect Rasheed Wallace, Bonzai Wells and periodic Memphis visitors Zach Randolph and Damon Stoudamire to one infamous team in the early 2000s.

No news if JR RIder or Ruben Patterson will be coming to town.

NEWS: There's going to be another former NBA star coaching in Memphis soon (and he has ties to the Grizzlies).

Bonzi Wells is finalizing an agreement to become the next men's basketball coach at Division-II LeMoyne-Owen.https://t.co/LWyQ0NDwpc

Ja Morant last night:

✅ 30 PTS
✅ 7 REB
✅ 5 AST
✅ 4 STL

Morant is the second-youngest player in NBA history to score at least 150 points through his first five games of a season, trailing only Shaquille O'Neal. pic.twitter.com/1BdvlyTkhA

— Justin Kubatko (@jkubatko) October 29, 2021

Since Ja Morant has been out for 4 games, the Grizzlies have the largest win in NBA history and a 4-game streak where they have never trailed nor been tied after the opening score.

With tonight's win at Dallas, @memgrizz are the first @NBA team in the last 25 seasons (when play-by-play data was first tracked) to record a streak of 4+ wire-to-wire wins, defined by @EliasSports as wins in which the team never trailed and the score was never tied after 0-0. pic.twitter.com/h5axwjwV7z

It should be noted the 4 teams were the Kings, Raptors (missing starters), OKC (missing starters), Dallas (missing Luka, KP & starters)

Xavier Sneed signed and playing against Spurs due to COVID.

He is the 7th Xavier to play in the NBA. The Grizzlies have had 5 of them.

Ja Morant's averages over the past week (4 gms) are nuts - 35 pts, 7 reb, 6 ast per game shooting 57% from the field and 74(!)% from three (on 5 attempts per game).

Don't think there's ever been a Memphis player to go on a run like this before.

And they will still find a way to win.

Starting 2 two-way guys, a 10-day, and there are only 2 healthy guys from the main roster. 13 main roster guys on the injury report. To get to 8 guys active for the game, 3 guys are 10-day contract guys.
Just one injury report isn't enough.

Not surprisingly, lost by 40 with most the Celtic starters not playing in the 4th

Farewell 2023-24 season. Memorable for the injuries and expensive viewing of G-Leaguers and 10-day guys.

Loss today with just one player who appeared in the season opener in October, and just two players who were even in the organization as of February.

The team featured NBA-record number of Grizzlies players (33) and starting lineups (51). That number does not include Steven Adams who never played for them this year.

Highlight was the development of Vince Williams and GG Jackson.
Also seeing the Core 4 at Marc Gasol jersey retirement

an nba record 33 different players.
an nba record 578 total games lost.
an nba record 51 different starting lineups.

the season from hell is now over for the grizzlies.
