NBA 2018-19 Free Agency: Worst Contract By Team - Southwest Division

#5 Memphis Grizzlies - Omri Casspi

Casspi will cost the young Memphis wings some playing minutes

The Grizzlies pulled off a great move by signing restricted free agent, Kyle Anderson, to a 4-year/$37.2 million deal, adding a good young small forward to the rotation. But after that, for some reason, Memphis officials thought they needed another wing, so they signed Omri Casspi to a one-year contract for the veteran's minimum.

Casspi had a solid season playing for the Warriors, who waived him just before the playoffs, depriving him of his first postseason appearance. Even though he was a good three-point shooter for his career, Casspi struggled the past year from downtown, scoring just ten three-pointers for the season, a career low.

The more baffling aspect of this signing is the fact that Memphis doesn’t necessarily need a wing. Currently on their roster, after some additional trades have transpired, the Grizzlies have seven different players who can play the wing positions. Casspi is a valuable contributor, but it might have been smarter for Memphis to thin wing depth and give their younger guys more playing time.
