Which players deserved investigation for the Memphis Grizzlies’ problems in 2018-19?

Jan 3, 2019Feb 7, 2019

Jan 3, 2019 — Chris Wallace

The decision this board surrounds ultimately brought in Justin Holiday. Later outcomes never rewrite the board.

MEM on 2019-01-03: the listed basketball needs were event creation, interior finishing, rim pressure. 2 player(s) were publicly on the market, but none had a source linking this team to them. 2 open-market candidate(s) matched at least one listed need. Market access, basketball fit, price, salary route, and legality remain separate.

Historical decision board. A public-market player is not presented as a team target without a named team link. Minimum outgoing salary is not exact legality. Missing asking price is not a zero price. Later outcomes do not alter the decision-date board.
