Memphis Grizzlies 2006-07 Preview  

 Another promising season ended painfully for the Grizzlies, as a first-round sweep by Dallas left their all-time playoff record at a miserable 0-12. The off-season wasn't much better, as star Pau Gasol broke his foot at the Worlds and will be out until at least December

Gasol's injury was a shame because the Grizzlies had a decent off-season. Looking for a potential scorer to play alongside star Pau Gasol, Memphis traded Shane Battier to Houston in June for the draft rights to Rudy Gay and they got back Stromile Swift in the deal, while also adding first-round pick Kyle Lowry from Villanova.

Without Gasol, the Grizzlies look to struggle, particularly early. Gasol led the Grizzlies in points, rebounds and assists in 12 games last season, and he was one of only three players in the league to finish as his team's leader in all three categories and the Grizzlies get Detroit, Phoenix, the Lakers, Kings, and Mavericks, all on the road, in their first nine games

Guards Damon Stoudamire, Eddie Jones, Dahntay Jones, and Chucky Atkins are an overall weak group. Too old, too slow, and not nearly explosive enough, the Grizzlies' guards simply won't be able to keep up the offensive pace
