Would this trade make sense for the Memphis Grizzlies?
The Memphis Grizzlies moved on from Jonas Valanciunas and since then, they have been weak down low. The best teams in the league have balance on both ends and that is what Memphis could be looking to acquire here.
Myles Turner has established himself as one of the best defensive players in the league. He let the NBA in blocks last season and could do so once again. He could elevate the Grizzlies’ defense to new heights in ways Steven Adams is simply unable.
Turner also has an offensive game that is improving each game. His finishing has improved immensely over the years, he’s continued to knock down shots from the perimeter, and he’s made real progress in being able to handle switches down low.
Joining a team with an elite guard such as Ja Morant, Turner we have a chance to continue to improve by receiving no shortage of play-finishing opportunities. This is the type of duo that can lead a team to success.

The spacing that Jaren Jackson Jr. provides as a four would present no shortage of intriguing options for the Grizzlies with Turner. Teams would get sliced up trying to over-help on Morant since they’d have to worry about Desmond Bane, Jackson Jr., and Turner all spacing.
