The Grizzlies are arguably further from a title than they've been in several seasons after trading Desmond Bane to the Magic, so how would you assess their busy offseason? It was an offseason that saw the team avoid free agency with Jaren Jackson Jr, add Ty Jerome, and acquire Cedric Coward in the lottery. 

What are the standards to judge the offseason? What is the overall goal to be measured by? 

This episode discusses those questions.

The Grizzlies announced that they will play their first ever regular season game in Europe, as they will face the Orlando Magic in Berlin and London as part of the NBA's Europe Games.
