The 2007-08 Memphis Grizzlies season was marked by significant changes and underwhelming performance on the court. The team, playing their seventh season in Memphis, ended the year with a disappointing 22-60 record, finishing last in the Southwest Division and missing the playoffs once again. This season was notable for the Grizzlies as they continued their rebuilding phase, which included major roster changes.
Midseason, the Grizzlies made a significant trade, sending star player Pau Gasol to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Kwame Brown, Javaris Crittenton, Aaron McKie, and the rights to Marc Gasol, among other assets. This trade was heavily scrutinized at the time but eventually set the stage for future success, as Marc Gasol developed into a franchise cornerstone in the coming years.
Rudy Gay emerged as a key player during the season, leading the team in scoring with an average of 20.1 points per game. However, the overall lack of experienced talent and depth hindered the Grizzlies’ ability to compete consistently. The team struggled defensively, ranking near the bottom of the league in several defensive categories.
The 2007-08 season was a challenging period for the Memphis Grizzlies, characterized by transition and the laying of groundwork for future development. The focus remained on building a competitive team for the years to come, with young players gaining valuable experience despite the team’s struggles in the win column.
- Regular Season Record: 22-60
- Playoff Result: Did not make playoffs
