Grizzlies receive a 3-time All-Star, 2-time All NBA Julius Randle to pair alongside Ja Morant. They also receive a young, 2-way guard in McBride, who can start at SG or come off the bench and Precious Achuiwa, who improved into a quality defensive and rebounding PF/C.
Grizzlies also receive the '25 DET 1st (top 13 protected) and '25 WAS 1st (top 10 protected).
Grizzlies Starting Lineup: Morant, McBride, Bane, Randle, Edey
Grizzlies Bench Lineup: Rose, Williams Jr, Jackson II, Achuiwa, Clarke
Knicks receive a star PF/C in Jaren Jackson Jr, who will bring elite rim-protection, scoring, and some floor spacing at the starting center. His rebounding will improve as Thibs will position him more inside the paint. They also receive Marcus Smart to play as a veteran 2-way guard off the bench or in the starting lineup.
Knicks also receive a future '30 DAL 2nd.
Knicks Starting Lineup: Brunson, DiVincenzo, Bridges, Anunoby, Jackson Jr
Knicks Bench Lineup: Smart, Hart, Bates-Diop, Robinson
Knicks and Grizzlies fans, is this a fair and realistic trade for both sides?
