After thinking about it more, I am going to give Memphis the benefit of the doubt until all the moves are played out. They have been too good recently with their roster building. Zach Lowe mentioned Jonas was eligible for an extension. If Memphis decided he was not in their long term plans moving up to 10, picking up a future first and getting a 25% downgrade in Adams from Jonas is not terrible. Especially if they find another young player to add to their young nucleus. Not extending Jonas may have caused some problems in the locker room possibly.
I think NO is the team that really needs to have a good offseason. The Adams signing was a mistake. The assets they got back for Jrue don't look that appealing at the moment. There has been rumblings that Zion is not happy. That can be fixed but they really need to have a good offseason. There is too much pure talent on that team for how they played last year. They should be at a similar stage as Memphis in their team development.
