Trade Analysis
Memphis acquired the rights to Santi Aldama for Jared Butler’s rights and two second-round assets. Aldama developed into a versatile rotation forward, earned a meaningful second contract and later carried additional trade value. Butler and the outgoing picks produced less aggregate impact for Utah. The Grizzlies identified the better long-term player and won the exchange at a manageable draft cost.
