Summary

We start the show talking about how annoying this snow and ice is (3:00) before discussing the Grizzlies loss last night at home to the Charlotte Hornets, how the Hornets have similar vibes to the Grizzlies teams of a few years ago + Chris took his daughter to the game and she got to meet GG Jackson and Cedric Coward. After that we'll go into all the future draft picks the Grizzlies have, the upcoming trade deadline and the possibility they keep Ja Morant and showcase him for the last 2 months of the season to get his trade value up in the offseason (7:45). Marc Stein wrote about what he's hearing with the Giannis trade market and we'll go through there. Would you want to see Giannis team up with Steph Curry on the Warriors??? The Timberwolves are also mentioned as are the Miami Heat. Could the Grizzlies help facilitate a trade and add more assets if they choose to rebuild???? (1:01:34). We'll finish up talking about tonight's Memphis/FAU game and how much things have changed for smaller conferences just in the last 2 years when you look at KenPom rankings (1:22:10)
