Ranking 3 best Desmond Bane trade destinations if Grizzlies shake things up



The Memphis Grizzlies are in the middle of a crossroads and they will have to make plenty of tough decisions this offseason. The team has failed to make forward progress over the past few seasons; the 2023-24 season was an all-out disaster amid the team's injury woes, and then during the 2024-25 campaign, they lost the plot over halfway through the season, culminating in a disastrous first-round sweep at the hands of the Oklahoma City Thunder. It's not quite clear where the Grizzlies go from here; in a loaded Western Conference, it looks like many teams are passing Memphis by. Following the departures of Dillon Brooks and Steven Adams, their identity has been in flux, and they seem to be moving backwards as a result.

New Blockbuster Three-Team Trade Proposal Sends JJJ to Cleveland, Allen to Memphis, Hawks Add More Wings



On paper, there doesn't seem to be much connecting the Memphis Grizzlies, Atlanta Hawks and Cleveland Cavaliers. Atlanta failed to qualify for the postseason after losing to the Miami Heat in the play-in tournament while the Grizzlies were soundly eliminated by the OKC Thunder in a 4-0 sweep. Conversely, the Cavaliers are still alive in the postseason. Although they are down 2-1 in the second round of the playoffs to the Indiana Pacers, they won Game 3 by 22 points and will be able to tie the series up in Game 4.

Blockbuster NBA Trade Idea Sends 2x All-Star to Lakers for Austin Reaves



The Los Angeles Lakers are coming off a disappointing first-round playoff exit after losing to the Minnesota Timberwolves in just five games, and now changes are needed. The Lakers had the most glaring lineup need in the NBA, and their lack of a real big man ultimately cost them their season. The Lakers traded away superstar big man Anthony Davis in exchange for Luka Doncic. Now that they have Doncic as an offensive-minded guard to run the offense, they might look to deal their other as an Anthony Davis replacement.

The Grizzlies stumbled through the final stretch of the regular season and lost their grip on a top-four seed.
