The Grizzlies and Mavericks have agreed to a trade that will send forward Santi Aldama to Dallas, reports Shams Charania of ESPN (Twitter links). The Mavs will also acquire forward Tarik Biberovic‘s draft rights in the deal.
In return for Aldama and Biberovic, Memphis will acquire guard AJ Johnson, the Warriors’ top-20 protected 2030 first-round pick, and a pair of second-round picks, according to Charania. That Golden State selection will turn into a 2030 second-rounder if it lands in its protected range.
Charania adds (via Twitter) that the move will allow the Grizzlies to preserve their $28.9MM trade exception from the Jaren Jackson Jr. deal, which suggests that Memphis will be combining this deal and its acquisition of Isaiah Stewart from the Pistons into a single transaction.
