Should the Memphis Grizzlies keep both Marcus Smart and Luke Kennard?

In case you missed it, money is about to get tight for the Memphis Grizzlies. And the rise of Vince Williams Jr. and GG Jackson - plus the returns of Ja Morant and Desmond Bane - perhaps make the salaries of Marcus Smart and Luke Kennard too right for Memphis' blood. Which player might no longer fit in with the Grizzlies? Or, should both return to actually see what this Memphis team as constructed is truly capable of? Hosts Joe Mullinax and Damichael Cole break that down and more on this episode of Locked on Grizzlies!

I dont think we can afford both. DC if that was your phone ringing at like 1:30...man that was some smooth work getting it muted without missing a beat lol :) Didnt even BLINK.

I truly believe the Grizzlies are going to be careful and bet on going all in next season when we can move on without financial loss from Z, Aldama and Jake.

Need guys that can shoot the three to spread the floor for Ja Morant! Look at how much spacing Anthony Edwards has! The dude has the entire court wide open, it helps that he has a mid mid range shot, but it’s also because KAT, Conley, McDaniel and others have a 3 point shot. Kennard is someone we should keep, even over smart. Now, maybe we can get him to lower his salary a bit? But we need that

Honestly it’s no thought to trade smart he’s better than all them other guys and not only that Vince and GG both are still unproven they not reliable at all still young we need vets I’ll say trade Kennerd for thybulle

@hillbilly21960 Ай бұрын

Vince can be a cheap smart and so I’d trade smart and Williams to the bucks for brook Lopez and next years unprotected first because I’m thinking they are gonna fall back hard being so old. Also draft Edey to replace adams.

I don’t get how smart and Luke didn’t get traded instead of Stevo? Please be honest, are you lightly to win with Stevo, Smart or Luke? And who could you rely on truly to be on court? BTW we’re not getting any of those centers in the draft. We just dreaming if we think we are. Now you try and trade for Brook Lopes for smart? We should’ve traded smart instead of Steve. Crazy crazy crazy. Memphis isn’t winning any chip. They will have to start to trade some core players.

Definitely got to trade one of those guys. I like Smart. But Bane at the 3 is a horrible idea. Bane needs to be the 2 guard.

@1kingzeus 2 ай бұрын

Only way you can keep both is getting Sarr or Clingan. Also have to trade Ziaire and Konchar.

@VividiQ 2 ай бұрын

hate the idea of smart being our 2 and bane our 3 its just not going to work. i know hes an elite defender but bane already has short arms u cant expect him to guard 3's he will get cooked. either trade smart with the emergence of gg and vince or move him to the backup pg. personally i think trading him is the better move he makes to much money.. find a way to sign luke on a multi deal for a little cheaper. we NEED his shooting. if not call brooklyn offer smart,kennard,,clarke and however many picks it takes(including this years) for mikal and claxton.(S&T)

I'm sure smart will have plenty of chances to prove his worth. Unfortunately, he'll be injured most of the time we need him.

How about trading for James Wiseman? Big body,, not needed for offense but can fill a need and could probably get him for a player or cash.

Just because you have been fortunate enough to play on teams with Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, AL Horford, Terry Rozier, and Kyrie Irving while also being fortunate enough to be coached by the likes of Brad Stevens, Ime Udoka, and Joe Muzzla doesn't mean that you are more valuable to an NBA team than Dillon Brooks is and Marcus Smart is not more valuable to an NBA team than Dillon Brooks currently is. Marcus Smart needs to be traded for either a veteran stretch 4 or 5 who has size with playoff experience. If you have to throw in the pick and/or Kennard to close the deal then so be it. This will not happen however because Zach Kleiman is not a real NBA GM....and that's a shame.

@1kingzeus 2 ай бұрын

😂😂😂 Bruh you sound silly. Smart is a great perimeter defender just like Dillon and can handle the ball unlike Dillon. Smart not getting moved unless it’s for Mikal Bridges. We have a number of other avenues to get a starting center.
