After a 20-point blowout to the Anthony Davis-less New Orleans Pelicans it seemed that something had to give. And give, and take, is what the Grizzlies hope to do as they begin rebuilding from the two best remnants in Marc Gasol and Mike Conley. The pair are now on the trade block as ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowksi reported on Tuesday evening.
For first time, Memphis will begin listening to trade offers on franchise stars Marc Gasol and Mike Conley, league sources tell ESPN. Memphis has reached a crossroads and is preparing to weigh deals involving one or both of its cornerstone veterans. Story soon on ESPN.

Mike and Marc have given Memphis everything they have. They will/should forever be remembered for the great things they did for the team and city.It’s time for them to move on/try to win a ring and it’s time for the Grizz to rebuild around JJJ.It will be sad, but it’s time. https://t.co/A3CAWRPYLx

January 22, 2019 I’ve enjoyed Marc & Mike so much. Having said that, packaging them (as opposed to solo) to try and start changing the trajectory of the Grizzlies in a bigger way is the right move.
