It’s time again for the quarterly Memphis Grizzlies Mailbag.
As always, I got tons of good questions, enough to make this mailbag a two-parter. There were a few subjects — the potential playoff rotation, approaches to the trade deadline and the futures of free-agents-to-be Santi Aldama and Jake LaRavia — where I got multiple questions. I chose representative ones to include. Some of those will wait for the second installment where I’ll take on the trade and offseason questions.
And there were a few creative questions where I couldn’t summon creative answers. It’s a me problem, not a you problem.
