Writer highlights the best and the worst move the Grizzlies made in the offseason

In preparation for a grand season of redemption, the Memphis Grizzlies exhausted the most out of their offseason means and duties this 2024.

Starting in the NBA Draft, Memphis landed a huge swing by using their ninth overall pick to obtain the service of Purdue star Zach Edey, the towering 7-foot-4 center who fills the team's urgent needs at the five. The franchise cut its ties to Ziaire Williams to clear significant cap space to retain Luke Kennard via a one-year deal.

These are considerably minimal if compared to other contending teams, but Zach Kleiman and the Grizzlies couldn't ask for a much better way to maintain themselves in competing with their eyes set for the 2024-25 campaign. As such, Bleacher Report's Dan Favale highlighted Memphis' biggest win and loss this summer with the offseason about to end for the next couple of weeks.

Biggest win: Ja-Edey tandem

Bringing in the towering 7-foot-4 wonder in Edey sparked major intrigue at the side of the Bluff City, and the entire league already anticipates how he and Ja Morant will work their pairing as two of the team's most interesting pairings.

Both young stars have already shown glimpses of what they can actually be from the past couple of days. In a viral video workout, Edey and Morant were already sharpening their chemistry connection with plenty of two-man game and alley-oop plays.

Should Ja and Zach continue their work and that familiarization for themselves, the rest of the 29 teams can only look out for a devastating one-two-punch combo to face.

Biggest loss: Shipping out 2023 R2 asset in Ziaire Williams trade

The Grizzlies saw a bittersweet split-up with Ziaire Williams. The team's No. 10 pick of the 2021 Draft, the former USC product, was generally underwhelming in three years of his stay in Memphis due to inconsistencies and injuries.

Out of the low value of the 22-year-old, the Grizzlies were compelled to dump Williams to the Brooklyn Nets by attaching their 2030 second-round pick via the Dallas Mavericks. In hindsight, it was a needed move to make to regain Kennard. Yet even though it's just a second-rounder and the next six years are pretty unpredictable yet on who is a potential talent that will come up, that draft asset still conveys value.
