ANALYSIS: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Jenkins just took Memphis to their second Western Conference Finals trip, and their first since 2013. Even more impressive, they did this only three years after they blew up the last of the Grit-and-Grind era. This Memphis team is built to last for years on end. The fact that they're already this good when the Ja Morant era just started bodes extremely well for their future. Keeping Jenkins around should only make things better.
