Net Cords: What’s Next In Memphis?

The Memphis Grizzlies improved over the previous year during the regular season, and landed a lovely top-4 seed in the playoffs. But until 2011, the Grizz couldn't get out of the first round. SB Nation's Memphis blog Straight Outta Vancouver considers that progression and what the future holds for the Grizz.

It appears as if the Grizzlies are open and willing to make a major move this offseason, as long as it doesn't mean "starting over." You won't find them shipping off both Zach Randolph and Rudy Gay for future pieces. They're going at it over the next 4-5 years (and beyond?), and one, if not both of those players are going to be a part of the equation. Now, is it possible that they move one of them? Absolutely. Is it also possible that they let O.J. Mayo walk? Most definitely. But for now it's going to be a period of deep reflection for Chris Wallace, Lionel Hollins and company.
