3 under-the-radar free agents Grizzlies must pursue this summer
By Mark Nilon
Though they may have finished this past campaign with the league's seventh-worst record at 27-55, with a fully healthy trio of Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, and Jaren Jackson Jr. leading the charge this Memphis Grizzlies team is viewed as a regular threat to take home the Larry O'Brien Trophy.
Of course, championships are not won by three players alone, meaning that even with these aforementioned studs expected back in the fold for 2024-25, the franchise should still be highly interested in stockpiling extra firepower within their arsenal to better support their centerpieces.
Already in tow are a slew of strong role players and rising youngsters, many of whom are projected to see serious advancements in their games ahead of what is hoped to be a more promising and all-around meaningful campaign come October.
Despite this, however, coach Taylor Jenkins still finds several areas of weakness within his rotation that require attention during these upcoming summer months.
While some have suggested finding solutions to the club's problems could be rather simple, as they could look to utilize the NBA Draft, the trade market, and free agency as ways to problem solve, being they have $175 million currently committed to next year's payroll this cash-strapped Grizzlies squad may need to get creative to tie up their rotational loose ends.

This offseason, there is a bevy of players strewn across the association that are slated to hit the open waters of NBA free agency.
Though attention is currently being drawn to the headline names such as LeBron James, Paul George, and James Harden, hiding in their proverbial shadows are a few under-the-radar and far less buzzed-about talents who could be of great service to this Grizzlies team all while likely coming at a cost somewhere within their price range.
