Oklahoma City Thunder Receive: Jonas Valanciunas and Jontay Porter
Memphis Grizzlies Receive: Isaiah Roby, Kenrich Williams, 2021 first-round pick (via MIA), and 2023 first-round pick (via MIA)

Once again, finding a long-term solution at center should be a priority for the Thunder this offseason. There are a few centers that could be made available on the trade market, aside from Bamba and Turner.

Despite the Memphis Grizzlies sneaking into the playoffs this season, Jonas Valanciunas may have already played his final game as a member of the Grizzlies. Valanciunas has become an underrated center in the NBA, who has evolved into a valuable player on both ends of the court.

Valanciunas has averaged a double-double in back-to-back seasons with Memphis, showing his prowess on the boards and his ability to score.

Getting Valanciunas would instill experience and leadership in the locker room, along with someone that would be a brick wall in the paint.

It would take Roby, Williams, a 2021 first-round pick, 2023 first-round pick, and possibly more to lure Valanciunas away from the Grizzlies. A trade involving Valanciunas would make room for Jaren Jackson Jr. to see more minutes at the center position next season.
