6. Memphis Grizzlies

Potential tradable assets: Jaren Jackson Jr., Dillon Brooks, Ziaire Williams, Brandon Clarke, Desmond Bane, multiple first-round picks, pick swaps  

Even without having to include Ja Morant in a potential deal, the Memphis Grizzlies would still be able to outline the framework of a strong offer for Kevin Durant. They also have a trove of first-round picks that they could include.

Again, it would likely take some convincing for Durant to actually want to play in Memphis, but I would imagine that Ja Morant would be a player that he wouldn’t exactly be opposed to playing with.

If the Nets wanted a group of young talented players to rebuild in Brooklyn, the Grizzlies, like the Cavs, would offer an intriguing possibility. If Memphis wanted to go all-in on a Morant-Durant duo, they could absolutely make it happen.
