Taj Gibson's Grizzlies Exit | Memphis Grizzlies News

Taj Gibson’s Grizzlies stint is officially over after a swift trade to the Pelicans alongside AJ Johnson for Jordan Hawkins, Micah Peavy, and picks — only for Gibson to be waived immediately. The move makes sense given earlier trade rumors around Hawkins and Johnson, and it’s a full-circle moment for Gibson, who once played with Jeff Teague on Minnesota. At 41, Gibson is one of the league’s oldest vets — second only to LeBron — and while his on-court production has dwindled, his veteran presence remains valuable. If he wants to keep playing, he may need to pivot toward a player-coach role, like Udonis Haslem, convincing teams his experience still matters even without big stats.
