| 0:00.0 | So there's just so much to talk about, argue about in these West grades that we had to go to a part two happy labor day everyone hope you're getting a chance to listen to this while you're traveling for the holiday getting some time off. |
| 0:11.6 | So if you're missing part one, we did that in our previous episode went through the LA Lakers. |
| 0:17.6 | So we're going to start here with Memphis and then we got Ben Dull coming up as well to talk about the four summer league teams we haven't discussed yet. |
| 0:24.0 | Ben, our Liam successor, our director of basketball research. |
| 0:27.6 | So let's move on here with the Memphis Grizzlies Danny what they do. |
| 0:31.6 | All hell of a lot is what they did. |
| 0:33.6 | So the most notable move was trading Mike Conley for J Crowder, Kyle Corver, Grayson Allen, the 23rd pick in the draft and Utah's first round pick. |
| 0:43.6 | It looks like it'll be 2022 just depends on how the jazz fair for the upcoming year. |
| 0:48.6 | They also used one of their trade exceptions to acquire Andre Wadala and also pick up the Warriors lightly projected 2024 first round pick. |
| 0:56.6 | They both moved Delan right in a signing trade for two future seconds and then signed Tyus Jones for a very similar amount for the middle level exception. |
| 1:06.6 | That's just how that was structured. |
| 1:08.6 | Then they traded Kyle Corver and who they acquired in the Conley trade and Javan Carter for Josh Jackson, the Anthony Melton, Phoenix is 2020 second and possibly their 2021 depending on where the sun's end up falling record wise. |
| 1:21.6 | They moved up a little bit. They gave up a second round pick to move up from 23 to 21 for Brandon Quark. |
| 1:26.6 | They traded CJ Miles for Dwight Howard who they bought out and they traded Chandler Parsons for Solomon Hill and Miles Plumley. |
| 1:33.6 | They also drafted, they moved up heavily in the lottery, drafted John Merant second overall and they made coaching and GM changes. |
| 1:41.6 | They hired Taylor Jenkins to be their head coach. Zach Climand is their key personal decision maker and they resign Valentinus. |
| 1:47.6 | That's a lot of stuff. |
| 1:48.6 | Yeah, it is and I gave him an A. I think they straight A. I was very impressed to hear with just about every single move other than resigning Valentinus, which is a little bit rich for my blood at three years, 45 million given the state of the center position. |
| 2:03.6 | It's not something that's going to kill and they're going to have more cap space than they can shake a stick at next summer anyway and the year after as well. |
| 2:11.6 | The Conley trade I think they did better than expected considering Conley only had one guaranteed year left or I'm sorry one year and then a player option and ETO technically on his final year. |
| 2:22.6 | I think that was a better package than maybe they could have gotten last trade deadline. |
| 2:27.6 | Alan who knows what he's going to be but number 23 was not bad and they turned that into Clark who I think looks like a player MVP of summer league a deserving one and that Utah first coming up, which you know, |
