Memphis Grizzlies Receive: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Al Horford

Oklahoma City Thunder Receive: Jaren Jackson Jr., Jonas Valanciunas, Justise Winslow, 2021 No. 17 pick and 2022 first-round pick (top-six protected, via Utah Jazz)

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is looking like a blossoming star in the league. He will be the centerpiece of this deal heading to Morant. The Grizzlies could land another young star and be set for the years to come. Memphis would also have to take on the contract of Al Horford, who was sent to Oklahoma City from the Philadelphia 76ers last offseason.

In return, Oklahoma City would land some more young talent. Jaren Jackson Jr. leads the way down low. He has looked like the real deal over his early years in the league. Valanciunas would also be moved here along with Justise Winslow and some draft picks.
