Memphis Grizzlies Receive: F/C Anthony Davis
If Anthony Davis is involved in another trade, this would be more of a surprise than the original one that sent him out of New Orleans.
LeBron James worked to get Davis in his frontcourt and it would be a shock to see him moved. With that being said, nothing is impossible. This is especially true after a disappointing season.
The Grizzlies put some rotation players on the trading block last offseason, including Kyle Anderson and Dillon Brooks. Given the underwhelming playoff performance of Brooks, it seems increasingly likely that he’ll be on the move.
In this deal, Brooks would be at the top of the deal, along with Ziaire Williams, Brandon Clarke, and Steven Adams. Los Angeles would also get De’Anthony Melton and two first-round picks.
