The Grizzlies have signed guard Mychal Mulder and forward Matthew Hurt, the team announced on Twitter. Guard Josh Christopher and forward Isaiah Todd were waived to make room on the roster.
Mulder, 29, has 84 games of NBA experience with the Warriors, Magic and Heat. He spent last season in the G League with Sioux Falls, where he led the league by making 129 three-pointers.
Hurt, 23, played for the Grizzlies’ G League affiliate last season, averaging 13.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 45 G League Showcase and regular season games with the Memphis Hustle.
The Grizzlies acquired Christopher from the Rockets in the five-team trade in July that sent Dillon Brooks to Houston. Christopher, 21, was the 24th pick in the 2021 draft and averaged 6.9 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 138 games during his two seasons with the Rockets. Christopher’s $2.5MM salary for the upcoming season is guaranteed, so Memphis will be on the hook for the full amount unless he’s claimed on waivers.
Todd, 21, spent the past two seasons with the Wizards and came to Memphis in July in a trade with the Suns. His $1.8MM salary for 2023/24 is also guaranteed.
Today’s moves should clarify the Grizzlies’ roster situation heading into training camp. With Christopher and Todd gone, Memphis is down to 15 fully guaranteed contracts.
Another clueless team
Very surprising they’d waive Christopher, especially with Ja suspended 25 games. That’s a lot of reliance of D Rose. He’s got potential, someone better scoop him.
Everytime people get excited about their team stockpiling extra picks, they should look at what Houston ended up with from all those picks. Not much.
Two potential all stars and two not so good players… I’d say that’s pretty good and why you stockpile picks, so you get a lot of chances at hitting
But I thought every g league player was gonna be a hall of famer
Memphis should go for Ingram and a young center
I would of kept them both while trying to make a trade for Ingram or a young SF prospect
