The Grizzlies have reportedly tried targeting high-end wings such as Mikal Bridges and O.G. Anunoby in the past, but those attempts came up empty. So, they wound up pouring some resources into adding Marcus Smart this summer instead.

That could create some impactful three-guard lineups once Ja Morant is back from his 25-game suspension, but it still leaves the wing rotation a little lacking. Adding an established, reliable veteran like Burks to the mix could be the lift this group needs.

He has the defense and three-ball (career 38.4 percent) to fill a three-and-D role, but he can make things happen off the bounce, too. In fact, he's spent 11 percent of his career floor time at point guard, so he has that in his bag if the Grizzlies needed him to create.

This wouldn't be some monumental addition, but Memphis doesn't necessarily need that kind of deal. The Grizzlies have tallied the fourth-most wins over the past two campaigns (107) and have every reason to believe they'll be in the championship hunt again this season.
