Next season, Grizz watchers get the rare double-double of a (presumed) playoff race and (probable) lottery scouting, without conflict.

First thought on that Clippers-Heat-Jazz deal: There’s a guard headed to the Clippers (Paul? Beal? Both?) Second thought: Why, yes, I would offer John Konchar for Kyle Anderson straight up. (Season-opening roster balance, bigger tradable contract for the deadline.)

The Grizzlies had a tradition that after practice assistant coaches or staff dunk. If they can't, Zach Edey held them up. When it was Iisalo's turn, he waved big fella off and slammed it. Players were surprised. What else is to learn about this guy? dailymemphian.com/subscriber/sec…

Unconfirmed, but the buyout coming in conjunction with the signing suggests Anthony will probably give back the amount of Bucks deal (presumably a minimum). Grizzlies would then presumably stretch the remainder over three seasons to clear space needed for JJJ renegotiation.

Now that this is done, the actual contract numbers will probably filter out soon. Probably won’t quite match the muddled initial reporting but we’re talking minor differences there. Cam Spencer signing likely next.

This was first reported as a 2-year agreement. Minimum exception can only be two years. Grizz were using full room exception on Ty Jerome and keeping all cap room open for JJJ extension. Looks like with Huff trade and Anthony buyout they were able to do Spencer using cap space.

This was initially reported as a “$240 million max,” which was confusing since the actual max was larger if it meant five years and smaller if it meant four. Turns out $240 million was accurate. First year of extension is a hair shy of max and then has get smaller raises.

NBA offseason is drying up. Grizzlies roster is mostly finished. Time for the Mid-Summer Grizzlies Mailbag. Grizzlies, general NBA, random nonsense. Ask ‘em if ya got ‘em.
