The Memphis Grizzlies made their major move earlier this offseason with the acquisition of Marcus Smart. So with the end of the Portland/Damian Lillard saga meaning “Dame Time” winding up in Milwaukee with the Bucks, naturally questions will come up. Did the Grizzlies act too quickly now that Jrue Holiday is like available? What does Phoenix’s depth play and Portland’s acquisition of Deandre Ayton mean for the Western Conference and Memphis’ place in it? Hosts Joe Mullinax and Damichael Cole discuss that and more on this episode of Locked on Grizzlies!

I forgot to comment to let you know how much I enjoyed your solo episode a few days ago Joe. God, I wish I had someone to talk about the Grizzlies with someone. I'm in NC and NObody I've ever met here likes the Grizzlies 😮💨
Grizzlies still need to cut some players
Here is a surprising factoid. Jaren Jackson Jr is only -1.9% from Lillard on 3 point %. Granted, he takes 2x the 3 point attempts, but narratives are so sticky.
Media has a really hard time with original commentary on things like this. Is Lillard really that great of a 3 point shooter? Or is JJJ a far better 3 point shooter than he gets credit for? I think it’s a little on one side and the other.
JJJ definitely does not have a clean 3 point shot, but he is pretty damn good at that transition 3 that he pushes from his chest.
If he can improve his 3 ball by another 1.5%, which is highly plausible, I’d argue that would put him as a really good 3 point big man, as strange as that is. Now, I don’t think he should ever shoot over 300 3s, especially with Bane and Kennard on the court.
Zaire need to go for one
