Dillon Brooks
The Memphis Grizzlies have been active on the trade market this offseason. Their most recent trade sent Patrick Beverley to the Minnesota Timberwolves in exchange for Juancho Hernangomez and Jarrett Culver.
With 17, possibly 18 players under contract after that deal is complete, Memphis needs to make some moves. Recently, it was reported that Dillon Brooks and Kyle Anderson could be on the move for the right price.
Both players are on team-friendly deals, as Brooks is owed $23.6 million the next two seasons and Anderson is on an expiring deal worth $9.9 million. The price to land Brooks will assuredly be higher than the one for Anderson.
Out of the two, Anderson is the likelier to be traded. It is hard to imagine the Grizzlies parting ways with their leading scorer from the 2020-21 season, especially when the team is so hungry for more offensive punch.

Dillon Brooks will not be on the move before the 2021-22 season. Anderson will ultimately be traded, with the Portland Trail Blazers acquiring him to bolster their wing depth and overall defense on the team.
