Utah Jazz Receive: C Steven Adams, G Dillon Brooks, G De’Anthony Melton, F Ziare Williams

Memphis Grizzlies Receive: C Rudy Gobert

At this time last year, the Memphis Grizzlies put many pieces on the trading block because they were approaching expiring contracts. Dillon Brooks and Kyle Anderson were the two names at the forefront.

Anderson is entering free agency but Brooks still has one year remaining on his contract, meaning he is the perfect target in a trade. With the limitations to Brooks’ skill-set, now would be an ideal time to package him in a trade for a more dynamic option.

The Grizzlies will also be able to get rid of Steven Adams by making a direct upgrade at the center position. Ziaire Williams looks like a promising talent in the league and would be an intriguing option for the Jazz to acquire to pair with Donovan Mitchell.

Most importantly, the Grizzlies would be able to hang onto draft picks while adding a major difference-maker by adding a defensive anchor.
