The Memphis Grizzlies made one of the more high-profile trades of the offseason when they decided to ship Jonas Valanciunas off to New Orleans in order to move up in the draft. In exchange for JV and their 17th-overall pick, they received the 10th-overall pick, which they would use to draft Ziaire Williams, a future first-round pick, Eric Bledsoe, and Steven Adams.
After a few days of fans believing that they’d be able to trade the 17th-overall pick in exchange for the Pels’ 10th pick and Eric Bledsoe, this deal actually came as a slight disappointment.
