Grizzlies Trade Santi Aldama to Dallas
Memphis adds a 2023 first-round draft pick and two future second-rounders as it continues a roster reset, sources told ESPN.
- On Wednesday, the Memphis Grizzlies traded forward Santi Aldama to the Dallas Mavericks for AJ Johnson, a 2030 first-round pick from the Golden State Warriors, and two future second-round picks.
- Prioritizing draft capital and roster flexibility, the Grizzlies traded star guard Ja Morant on Monday, continuing a broader reshaping as the franchise shifts focus away from its previous core.
- Recording career-high numbers, Aldama averaged 14.0 points and 6.7 rebounds last season, while Johnson, a 21-year-old guard, provides a developmental prospect on a contract with a 2025-26 cap hit of just over $3 million.
- Dallas gains a 7-foot forward who can space the floor, providing frontcourt flexibility; the Mavericks also received the draft rights to Tarik Biberovic from Memphis.
- With at least 18 players on standard contracts, Memphis continues to retool its roster, focusing on younger prospects like Cameron Boozer and Zach Edey as the franchise manages its cap situation.
