Is Memphis Retooling or Rebuilding?

Rebuild!

Retool. FA don't go to Memphis, so draft picks are necessary. I see them finishing anywhere between 3-8 in the West next year, I'd reckon (and that's if Wells and Edey take a jump, which they most certainly could).

Zach Edey had ankle surgery and they said he'll be re-evaluated in 4 months. He's also expected to miss the start of the season.

That means. he won't have the off season to work on his game.

I think you're right that Memphis will retool. On Bill Simmons podcast he talked about it a bit and said that a team with Ja and JJJ as your main players won't go far in the tough West. I think that's true, but don't think that will change what Memphis is doing.

Tooling.

Figure Orlando came to them.

“You wanna offer what for Bane?!??!!!”

“Uuuhhh, yes! We’ll retool.”

This was my thought too. They probably didn’t go into the offseason expecting to break up their top 3 but got an offer they couldn’t refuse

They're going to rebuild and hand the reigns over to Zach Edey as tank commander.

The should sign Boban and play time together as the modern day twin towers!

They need to rebuild. Ja is not that guy.

Agree. Ja is unreliable and JJJ is not worth a huge 3rd contract. They could do a great rebuild trading off both those guys. Memphis drafts and develops players really well.
