The Memphis Grizzlies, spearheaded by star guard Ja Morant, are having a remarkable season with a record of 22-10, placing them second in the Western Conference. Despite their success, the team is actively looking to enhance their roster ahead of the NBA trade deadline. Recent reports indicate that the Grizzlies are in discussions with the Brooklyn Nets regarding a potential trade involving forward Dorian Finney-Smith.
According to NBA insider Marc Stein, the trade talks are centered around Memphis offering players John Konchar and Luke Kennard to the Nets in exchange for Finney-Smith. However, the Nets are reportedly seeking a first-round draft pick from the Grizzlies as part of the deal. In addition, if a trade materializes, Memphis is expected to receive second-round draft compensation as well.
Luke Kennard, known for his shooting prowess, has seen limited playing time this season due to the Grizzlies' deep guard rotation, averaging just 19.9 minutes per game over 20 appearances. His expiring contract makes him a likely candidate for the Nets to consider flipping should they acquire him. As the trade deadline approaches, this situation is one to keep an eye on, as it could significantly impact both teams.
