History shows that it is very difficult to sign big free agents when you are in a small market. It is not impossible, but for that it is necessary to have built an attractive project with transfers, signatures of good “role players”, or the Draft obviously. As in Memphis where the arrival of Ja Morant changed everything.
With the buzz he has created around the Grizzlies, can he help the franchise attract a big fish?
” Yes “ answers the former Mike Miller, interviewed in the show “Jason and John” on 92.9 ESPN and whose comments the Daily Memphian relayed. “It’s a unique profile. I think everyone is aware of this. “
“The club did a good job to build by the Draft, what needs to be done in Memphis” he continues with Jarren Jackson Jr., Dillon Brooks and Brandon Clarke in mind. “They got back a stallion who can attract outside talent because he’s not the type to try to score 30 points per game. “
No, the ROY 2020 is more about making the players around them better. “A year ago, no one gave them a chance, and in the end they failed a few playoff games – without the bubble they would have done it. That’s what attracts. Now they have to add one or two more pieces. If they get there and keep shaping the roster in that direction, sure they can attract a star. “
