Grizzlies Target Patrick Williams | Memphis Grizzlies News

The Memphis Grizzlies are building their future like a dragon hoarding treasure—stacking four unprotected first-rounders without even getting picks in the Ja Morant trade. They’ve already used those assets to draft Cedric Coward and Karim López, proving they’re serious about long-term growth. With a massive $28.8 million trade exception from the Jaren Jackson Jr. deal, they’re eyeing a win-win: snagging Patrick Williams’ bloated Bulls contract (a five-year, $90M disaster) and turning it into more draft picks. At just 24, Williams could thrive with a fresh start—and if Chicago’s willing to throw in picks, Memphis gets a young player plus future assets. This isn’t just smart—it’s strategic chess for the NBA’s next dynasty. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
