Orlando Magic Receive: C Steven Adams, 2024 First-Round Pick (Top 10 Protected – MEM)
Memphis Grizzlies Receive: F/C Jonathan Isaac

This is certainly a bold move to lead with. We can already hear Memphis Grizzlies fans protesting.

Yes, Steven Adams is a good player. His offensive rebounding and screen-setting were integral components of the Grizzlies’ success in 2021-22. Trading him along with a protected first-round pick for a player who has struggled to see the floor as much as Isaac is certifiably crazy, right?

So crazy, in fact, that it just might work.

You tell us who can score on a healthy tandem of Jaren Jackson Jr. and Jonathan Isaac. They can both guard the perimeter and interior. There’s no switch that solves either.

Having one as a primary assignment while the other is lurking as a free safety should terrify even the Kevin Durants and Luka Doncics of the NBA.
