Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins pointed to “flexibility” as a key factor in the decision to trade veteran center Steven Adams to Houston. The trade involved acquiring Victor Oladipo and three second-round picks.
The move likely provides the Grizzlies with more roster flexibility and strategic options moving forward.
“Big-time thanks to (Adams),” Jenkins said. “Opportunities come throughout the league. We got to make some decisions. Obviously we’re excited about the flexibility it creates for us. … The impact (Adams) made was a big one for us.
“Obviously we’re going to miss him. Hopefully he gets healthy. He’s been working really hard in his rehab. He had a huge impact not just on the floor, but also in the locker room.”
