For Memphis Grizzlies fans, the last few hours may seem like a dream. Who saw this trade coming?
The Grizzlies dealt out Jonas Valanciunas for a lot in return. An upgrade in both of their draft picks, moving them to the 10th-overall pick and the 40th-overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. They also brought in Steven Adams, who will fill in as a more defensive-minded option at the center position. The Grizzlies will maintain a physical presence down low.
Generally speaking, this trade doesn’t impact the Grizzlies roster very much, at least until the 2021 NBA Draft rolls around.
