Memphis Grizzlies
As stated before, it would take a lot to convince the Cavaliers to trade Nance Jr., but the Memphis Grizzlies have a fair amount of assets to offer up and they are looking to possibly move some contracts around. They are in need of moving at least two contracts before the start of next season and according to Fedor, Dillon Brooks and Kyle Anderson are available “for the right price.”
Could Larry Nance Jr. be the right price for either one of these guys? It is very possible that there could be trade discussions at some point between the Cavaliers and Memphis between Nance Jr. and either Brooks or Anderson, but again, the Grizzlies would still have the same problem with roster spots.
The Grizzlies are currently looking for ways to move on from some players on their roster in order to get down to the allowed 15 players on their roster to begin the season, which is why a one-on-one trade for Larry Nance Jr. may not be favorable to them.
Overall though, the 28-year-old forward could fit in quite well in the Grizzlies’ system with Ja Morant as their leader. The Grizzlies run a lot of pick-and-roll sets, which would be favorable to Larry Nance Jr. given his athleticism, but they also look to push the tempo in transition.

Morant and Nance Jr. would make up a really tough duo to stop in transition and he could definitely provide them with some needed aid in their second-unit behind Jaren Jackson Jr. The Grizzlies are a young team on the rise and they have not been afraid to make some big moves this offseason in trade, which is why they could possibly target Larry Nance Jr. at some point.
