I think that Miles Bridges fits Memphis's culture, locker room, and identity perfectly. Jayson Tatum reunites with his college teammate in Luke Kennard, and the Hornets make the smart play by trading the guy who has been in prison for a year for immediate value. Thoughts?
Reuniting college teammates and making the Grizzlies "fine in the west."
