On May 1, 2018, the Grizzlies named former interim coach J. B. Bickerstaff as the official head coach.[1] On February 7, 2019, Marc Gasol was traded to the Toronto Raptors, after spending 11 years with the Grizzlies (his entire NBA career up until then). This was the first time since the 2007–08 that Gasol was not on the team. They improved their record from the previous season, but still ended with a losing record and missing the playoffs. On June 19, 2019, Mike Conley was traded to the Utah Jazz, effectively ending his 12 year stint with the Grizzlies (his entire career up until that point).[2]
