The Grizzlies get: Malik Monk, Keon Ellis, Dennis Schröder, 2026 protected first-round pick, 2027 protected San Antonio Spurs first-round pick (all via the Kings), $6.5 million trade exception (Ja Morant)
The Kings get: Ja Morant, GG Jackson (both from the Grizzlies), Jalen Wilson (from the Brooklyn Nets), $5.4 million trade exception (Dario Šarić), $2.3 million trade exception (Keon Ellis)
The Nets get: John Konchar, 2029 Portland Trail Blazers second-rounder (both from the Grizzlies), Dario Šarić, 2026 protected Charlotte Hornets second-round pick, cash (all via the Kings)
In this scenario, Brooklyn cuts Tyrese Martin for roster space to take on Šarić and (from Memphis) Konchar. The Nets gain two second-rounders and cash for participating. The deal would need to wait until December 15, when Schröder’s trade restriction lifts.
Sacramento gets the best player in Morant, returning depth to Memphis. The Grizzlies add three quality guards and two future first-round picks.
If Memphis prioritizes draft currency, Sacramento may have the most to offer. While Monk, Ellis, and Schröder aren’t All-Stars like Young or Herro, the Grizzlies aren’t likely to get picks from Atlanta or Miami with those players.
