The Memphis Grizzlies preseason is newly underway. What better time to pull together five bold predictions for the upcoming year?
The Memphis Grizzlies are one game into their preseason schedule, which seems as good a time as any to make some reckless predictions. We’re not talking about forecasting what is likely for the team, or even what seems like being within the realm of possibility.
If you want those kind of thoughtful, balanced takes, you can dive into our season preview. Today, we’re operating in the extremes. Please keep that in mind as you read.
