ADVICE

Target Fixable Outliers, Not Emotional Sales

Consider buying low on established players showing clear, fixable outliers rather than panic-dropping them.
Negotiate conservatively: don't overpay and target owners likely to panic-sell.

Can names like Domantas Sabonis, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Ja Morant rebound and reward savvy GMs, or are Memphis Grizzlies’ chemistry issues too big to ignore? Josh Lloyd highlights the underlying stats behind these slumps, from Sabonis’ shocking dip in field goal percentage to Morant’s shooting woes and Desmond Bane’s puzzling scoring drought in Orlando Magic colors.
