Why This Trade Would Benefit The Memphis Grizzlies
The NBA has turned into a league where teams need multiple superstars to contend. When you look at teams like the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers, they both have a dynamic duo to leave them for years to come.
The Memphis Grizzlies landed half of a potential duo with the second pick in a 2019 draft. They could look to finish off the duo by adding a player like Harden. This will make them playoff contenders immediately this season.
Ben McLemore and Danuel House Jr. are productive players who would be able to come off the bench and provide strong minutes in Memphis.
The Grizzlies are a team that is looking to compete as soon as possible. They have been down for a while but finally feel like they have a roster to contend in a very difficult Western Conference. Harden would help that notion right away.
