The 2024/25 season of Memphis Grizzlies has ended disappointingly. The team has been eliminated 4-0 in the 1st round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs against the Oklahoma City Thunder. It's time for reflection, and the first to speak out is Zach Kleiman, an executive of the franchise.
Among other things, Kleiman spoke to the media about a mistake he claims to have made and regrets. It involves the player Jake LaRavia, who was traded to the Sacramento Kings.
"I believe we should have exercised Jake LaRavia's team option," said Kleiman. "The mistake was there. I think Jake could have helped us in the final stretch of the season."
"I probably overestimated the burden they could have posed in a push towards the playoffs," added the executive of a Grizzlies team that needs to make moves this summer to compete with the top teams in the Western NBA.
