Ranking 3 best Desmond Bane trade destinations if Grizzlies shake things up



The Memphis Grizzlies are in the middle of a crossroads and they will have to make plenty of tough decisions this offseason.

It's not quite clear where the Grizzlies go from here; in a loaded Western Conference, it looks like many teams are passing Memphis by. Following the departures of Dillon Brooks and Steven Adams, their identity has been in flux, and they seem to be moving backwards as a result.
