Carrell's recent interview focused on the Grizzlies' playoff prospects.
As the current situation stands, the Grizzlies had a strong chance of topping The West in the regular season.
Among their potential first-round opponents were the Thunders.
With James's return, the Thunders' results had declined, falling from sixth to eighth in The West.
If the playoffs had started then, the Grizzlies would have faced the Thunders in the first round.
During the mock matchups, naturally, they discussed the potential face-off scenarios.
In this context, Carrell posed a question: how could the Thunders possibly defeat the Grizzlies?
Hansen provided his answer. "Trade Guy and James."
At first, this sounded absurd, but upon closer analysis, it turned out to be the only viable solution.
First, if James joined the Grizzlies, their double-tower gameplay would not suit him, effectively rendering him useless.
