The Toronto Raptors land Marc Gasol from the Memphis Grizzlies. The Memphis Grizzlies land Jonas Valanciunas, Delon Wright, CJ Miles and a 2024 second-round draft pick. The trade was done on February 7th in time where we are seeing a lot of them trying to trade for some reason or another.
The upside of for the Raptors they get a skilled big man who can help them make a push for a chip for the year. It will help the younger players to improve their knowledge from a veteran force. Also he is a free agent after this year and this will open more cap room for potential players coming next year. The down side is losing marc after one year because he could play well. If he plays well he could leave. The Grizzlies only real upside is to make cap room for better free agents.
Overall the trade was a cap trade for both teams. They are moving to get more free money so they can sign better players.
