GRIZZLIES, GRITTY & ‘SMART’

Grizzlies acquire Celtics guard Marcus Smart in blockbuster deal.

The Memphis Grizzlies traded away their only first round pick in Thursday’s 2023 NBA Draft.

What a trade it was……

It was a trade that looks to only enhance the well deserved label of ‘Gritty’ that’s often used to describe the Memphis Grizzlies over the years.

If there was ever a player who could be described as ‘Gritty’ or a player who seems to fit an organization like a glove, that player is Marcus Smart for the Memphis Grizzlies. It just makes too much sense, and looks extremely ‘Smart’ to bring in a guy that displays the Grit and Grind the Grizzlies. Pun intended.

In this, Episode 47, of THE BALL ABOUT THE SOUTH PODCAST with CWood, we examine this huge 3-team deal between the Grizzlies, Boston Celtics, and Washington Wizards. This was the second blockbuster deal of the week for the Wizards, who earlier in the week traded Bradley Beal to the Phoenix Suns for Chris Paul (who later was traded to Golden State) Landry Shamet and picks.

After discussing these trades, we’ll take a quick look at the 2023 NBA Draft. Also, on tap, is the exciting 2024 football schedule, which is highlighted by Georgia at Alabama and huge games featuring the Oklahoma Sooners and Texas Longhorns. 2024 promises to be a season of SEC football. This also promises to be an episode BALL ABOUT THE SOUTH with CWood you don’t want to miss!
