In return, the Grizzlies would be able to unload Jonas Valanciunas. The Warriors welcome it with open arms because of their need for a big man. Kyle Anderson and Justise Winslow would also be going to the Warriors in this deal.
A key appeal for the Warriors is that all three of the players they would receive in this deal would be playing on expiring contracts next season while immediately clearing $3.8 million in cap space. The Grizzlies would essentially be compensated for taking on Andrew Wiggins’ contract, who is set to earn $31.5 by receiving James Wiseman.
Let’s take a closer look and see how how this deal would benefit both sides right away.
