Memphis trades away a former top-10 pick in Ziaire Williams, creating financial breathing room and increasing the chances Luke Kennard returns.

With Ziaire Williams trade, Grizzlies now roughly $10 million under the tax line. They’ll almost certainly re-sign Kennard and enter the season under the tax line. Question is whether they keep Diakite in the 15th slot, sign someone else or keep it open to start the season. – 1:57 PM

The Grizzlies traded Ziaire Williams and a 2030 second-round pick to the Nets, per @wojespn.
Memphis gets off Williams’ $6.1 million salary, which clears the way for Luke Kennard to re-sign.
The former lottery pick will have plenty of opportunities on the rebuilding Nets. pic.twitter.com/YeiqVYXQ9J – 1:14 PM

Michael Scotto: The Memphis Grizzlies are essentially trading Ziaire Williams, the 10th pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, as a salary dump to clear more cap space to remain below the luxury tax and re-sign Luke Kennard. Brooklyn Nets take a flyer on a former lottery pick and get a second-round pick. -via Twitter @MikeAScotto / July 19, 2024
