Portland Trail Blazers forward Deni Avdija is 24 years old, on a cost-controlled value contract, and has been averaging 18-8-4 over his last 10 games on 52% shooting. It’s no wonder, that other teams - or at least the analysts who cover them - might be interested in adding Avdija to their squad.
Locked On Grizzlies host, former Managing Editor of SB Nation’s Grizzly Bear Blues, and current writer for The Lead Joe Mullinax puts together a case for why the Memphis Grizzlies should take an Avdija-sized swing:
Avdija may be the “PERFECT” fit for this kind of trade for several reasons – even if it likely costs the Grizzlies some additional draft capital.
