The NBA trade deadline is one of the most important dates on the NBA calendar, as teams that are at a crossroads decide how they will attack the rest of their season. The Memphis Grizzlies have been active each of the last three seasons at the deadline for different reasons.
They traded for Luke Kennard at the 2023 NBA trade deadline to add needed shooting to a team that considered itself a contender as the number two seed in the West. At the 2024 deadline, the team traded assets for draft capital and to open room to sign GG Jackson after trading centers Xavier Tillman and Steven Adams.
