After missing Durant, the Memphis Grizzlies intend to swap the Rockets' top pitcher Gordon and forward Martin Jr. to improve the team's strength and compete for the championship in the new season.
The Grizzlies finished second in the West last season with a 56-26 loss and eventually advanced to the Western Conference Finals, and although they lost 2-4 to the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals, such a result was enough to make the Memphis proud.
After Durant applied for a trade for the second time, the Grizzlies also couldn't resist joining the trade battle, and although Durant chose to stay with the Nets, the ambitions of the Memphis told everyone that they were no longer satisfied with the Western Conference Finals.
This time the Grizzlies turned their attention to Rockets pitcher Gordon and jr. Martin Jr., and according to sources, Memphis intends to send big forward Sandy Aldama and a first-round pick swap.
Let's take a quick look at the big forward from Spain.
Sandy Aldama, born in Spain on 10 January 2001, was selected by the Utah Jazz with the 30th pick in the first round in the 2021 draft, 2.11 meters tall, weighs 98 kilograms, and plays as a big forward or center; this is a big player who can defend and shoot, low singles ability, defensively active, and a good three-pointer.
The Grizzlies are currently young and talented, and Morant, Dillon, and Jarren Jackson Jr. are playing more and more confidently and are very eager for a championship, which makes the Grizzlies have no time to train other young players and exchange mature immediate combat power.
