When you come into, this was Taylor Jenkins' sixth year, and in the offseason, he's like, all right, we're firing every assistant coach. We're bringing in basically all new assistant coaches, and we're installing a new offense. And everyone's like, cool. That shows the Grizzlies are going hard. It's also like, hey, that sounds really risky. Like, you have a really good team.

Like, you have a really good team with really good players. You have Ja Morant. Do we need to reinvent the wheel? And I don't know. I mean, it's hard, again, to draw conclusions from these things because the results were there for so long. If you want to get picky, which we do, we say, well, the results were there against bad teams. You were blowing the doors off of bad teams.
