The Memphis Grizzlies have been one of the oldest teams in the NBA for a long time. Vince Carter’s presence on the roster certainly doesn’t help things, but they’ve long been built around two relatively old dudes, Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph.
However, the trade deadline saw them make some minor moves which added dynamic young players to their team:
-P.J. Hairston is only 23!
-James Ennis
-No wait, James Ennis doesn’t count, he’s old, forget about James Ennis
-JaMychal Green is also old
-So is Lance Stephenson
-Jordan Adams
-Jarell Martin (who?)
-Jarnell Stokes
-Forget about Jarnell Stokes too, he got traded
-Not like he ever got to play though
That’s an impressive list of young talent right there. The Grizzlies are certainly building for the future.
