Grizzlies: This potential trade with the Hawks could create two superteams
When you think of 2021 offseason trades, the first team that will pop into your head is the Memphis Grizzlies, who have now made a total of six trades. It hasn’t netted them much for the immediate future, though.
That said, it feels like the Grizzlies are prepping for big-time trade down the road, which may be their only option if they plan to build a super team. Generally speaking, free agents aren’t attracted to small-market teams like Memphis. Because of this, the Grizzlies have been stockpiling draft picks (they have three first-rounders in 2021) and players that fill their roster.
Will they choose to unload all of these assets in another blockbuster trade? Bleacher Report thinks they can.
This Bleacher Report trade hypothetically has the Grizzlies involved in a three-team trade that benefits everybody involved
Bleacher Report seems to think that the Grizzlies would be willing to make a big trade as soon as this offseason, though they didn’t include any future assets. Here’s the deal that B/R’s Grant Hughes drew up.
It’s a lot to take in, so take your time reading it.
In short, the Memphis Grizzlies would be giving up Dillon Brooks and Brandon Clarke. In exchange, they’d be receiving Cam Reddish, Kevin Huerter, Chris Boucher, and a 2025 first-round pick.
Which team would win this deal? If you just want to see the Grizzlies side of this deal, you can skip to slide four, though it’s worth looking into how Dillon Brooks and Brandon Clarke could benefit other teams.
