Memphis Grizzlies Linked to Kristaps Porzingis

The Memphis Grizzlies have reportedly been among the possible trade options for Golden State Warriors forward Kristaps Porzingis. Journalist Brett Siegel listed the Grizzlies as a team to watch among those that could be possible trade partners for Porzingis.

The franchise has a trade exception worth about $28.8 million. The exception was created during the process of sending Jaren Jackson Jr. to the Utah Jazz. Such an option can give a team significant flexibility when trading a player on a large salary.

Still, the report does not mention a concrete agreement. It has not been disclosed whether there have been talks between the sides or whether a serious offer exists between the two clubs. As speculation about Porzingis's future continues, whether Memphis is genuinely a candidate in this process will become clearer in the coming period.
