Herrington: Kevin Durant to the Grizzlies? It’s not crazy, but it is complicated
Ever since news broke of Kevin Durant seeking a trade from the Brooklyn Nets, the Grizzlies have bobbed around the fringes of trade speculation. (Seth Wenig/AP file)

Chris Herrington has covered the Memphis Grizzlies, in one way or another, since the franchise’s second season in Memphis, while also writing about music, movies, food and civic life. As far as he knows, he’s the only member of the Professional Basketball Writers Association who is also a member of a film critics group and has also voted in national music critic polls for Rolling Stone and the Village Voice (RIP). He and his wife have two kids and, for reasons that sometimes elude him, three dogs.
There’s a case to be made for Memphis: Durant could win big alongside Ja Morant, and do so in a way that gets him the kind of credit that eluded him with Golden State.
