Memphis Grizzlies

Trade candidate: Xavier Tillman

Xavier Tillman has had big moments in games without Jaren Jackson Jr. and Steven Adams in the lineup but does not seem to be a player the Memphis Grizzlies are attached to long-term. This is the final season of his contract and can be his last.

The Grizzlies will already be without Ja Morant who will be suspended for the first 25 games of the season leaving many guard minutes to go around. If they see a viable trade they could potentially swap the big for a wing player to go along with their core of Morant, Jackson Jr, and Desmond Bane.

Miami Heat

Trade candidate: Kyle Lowry

The Miami Heat were one of two teams to not make a trade last year and ended up making it to the finals despite being an 8-seed. Kyle Lowry has a $29 million expiring contract this season which can be valuable to another team.

If his production slows down or maybe sustains an injury, the team may consider moving on to get value back however his relationship with Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo may keep him around this season.
