Grizzlies officially announced! The first person in NBA history! Acknowledge it Morant, you are getting further and further away from Edwards

Basketball

On May 3, the Grizzlies officially announced that the team has officially hired Tuomas Isalo as the next head coach. Isalo succeeded Jenkins as interim head coach in late March this year, and now officially took office, becoming the first Finnish head coach in NBA history. After Isalo replaced Jenkins, he handed out a 4-7 record in the regular season and playoffs, and was swept by the Thunder in the playoffs. Although the sample is not large enough, Isalo does not have a glimpse of the shining light. Besides, experienced coaches such as Mike Malone, Mike Brown and James Borrego are all at home, so there is no need for the Grizzlies to use this rookie coach.

The US media explained the Grizzlies' approach. According to Shams, sources revealed that the Grizzlies management believes that their lineup cap has reached its peak, and the rookie dividend has faded, and they are expected to overturn and rebuild this offseason. The team management believes that Isalo can lead a brand new team to grow together.

Completely overturned and rebuilt, and Morant is no exception! Admit it, "Firepower Boy King", you are getting further and further away from Edwards.

Every time we discuss the future appearance of the NBA, Edwards and Morant are always mentioned, but obviously Edwards should enjoy the reputation of "the future appearance of the NBA". The 23-year-old super defender has been at the helm in recent years. Considering his performance in the two rounds of the series against Durant last year and James this year, it is hard to imagine how amazing Andy Lau will have in the future.

In contrast, Morant, there is no need to say much about negative news outside the court, and his performance on the court has also declined year by year. In four playoff trips, he averaged 30.2 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists per game in the 20-21 season, and only 18.3 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists this season. This is his personal reason. His single offensive skills and talented style of playing are easy to be injured. In addition, it is the team's reason. The Grizzlies have gradually lost patience with him. Morant's tactical status in the team has declined year by year, and even the "Wu Mo Grizzlies" seem to be more holistic and competitive.

However, according to previous reports from US media, the Grizzlies are more likely to trade Bain and JJJ. Bain has deteriorated significantly this season, averaging only 15.3 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game in the playoffs, shooting percentage of 31.7% and three-point shooting percentage of 21.9%. His height and ability are okay to be a third-in-chief in a playoff team. As for JJJ, he is also a center forward who cannot fight hard battles, and the Grizzlies are very passive in renewing their contract with JJJ. JJ rejected the Grizzlies' three-year, $106 million contract extension at the beginning of the regular season. During the offseason, he had the opportunity to sign a five-year, maximum salary renewal of $345 million with the Grizzlies. Although Morant likes to play gunpowder and has defects in his skills, considering that he is still young and his positive attitude and firm will after being injured in this round of playoffs, his future prospects are limitless.
