The Memphis Grizzlies get some help from Dallas to facilitate a blockbuster trade.

This three-team trade would involve the Philadelphia 76ers, the Dallas Mavericks, and the Memphis Grizzlies.

The Dallas Mavericks would be getting some wing help for Luka Doncic in the form of Dillon Brooks. Brooks put up 17.2 points per game last season for the Grizzlies. He could be a great second or third option for Dallas.

The 76ers would be getting a ton of depth to make their deep playoff push with Joel Embiid. They would be getting a three-point threat in Maxi Kleber, who knocked down 41% of his three’s last season.

They would also be getting Kyle Anderson, who could plug in as a starter or provide immediate depth off the bench. The 6’9” Anderson would give them size and a do-all player that takes care of the basketball.

Philadelphia would also be getting the efficient Brandon Clarke, rookie Ziaire Williams and two future 1st round picks in this deal.

The Memphis Grizzlies would really be hoping that Santi Aldama pans out and plays better than Brandon Clarke down the road. Kyle Anderson may walk as a free agent after this season. The Grizzlies would essentially be giving up Brooks and Williams (plus draft picks) for four years of Ben Simmons.
