Trade Breakdown:
Grizzlies: L. Markkanen
They need someone who can start at PF while JJJ misses the first two months of the season. Lauri can then easily slide into the role of microwave scorer off the bench when JJJ gets back. This is a really solid trade for them that helps the them win now!
Starters: Morant, Bane, Brooks, JJJ (Lauri), Adams
Bench: Jones, Konchar, Williams, Clarke, Lauri (Tillman)
Jazz: D. Green (buyout), J. LaRavia, S. Aldama, 2024 FRP (from MEM; via GSW, Top-4 protected)
They get great value out of a good player that does not fit their timeline.
