‘The Core Four’ Podcast: Grizzlies Playoff Wish List

Xavier, Dave, and Matt discuss Ja’s shoe release, the Western Conference Playoff seeding, and their wishes for the Grizzlies’ playoff run.

The much-anticipated release of Ja Morant’s first signature Nike shoe has been delayed. Is this in response to his recent off-the-court issues? Nike has stood by other stars in the past amidst controversy but if he has fallen out of favor with Nike’s biggest buyers, it could mean holding it off of shelves.

The Western Conference Playoff seeding race is heating up. Teams are fighting for those last few spots in the play-in while Memphis waits to find out their opponent for the first round. The biggest disappointment for the playoff stretch has been the spiraling Dallas Mavericks. One of the biggest surprises has been the teams potentially on Memphis’ side of the bracket.

Ahead of the playoffs, the C4 boys give their wishlists for Memphis’ postseason. Matt wants Jaren to shine, Dave asks for maturity and Xavier wishes for the Grizzlies to continue to be themselves.

To close out the show the guys dish out their hottest takes. Xavier thinks it’s time the young talent in the league takes over. Dave is expecting some roster changes over the summer. Matt gives De’Aaron Fox his flowers.
