2. Memphis Grizzlies

The Grizzlies went from an intriguing playoff team to a squad that is absolutely capable of making it to the NBA Finals. Ja Morant as the heliocentric superstar and the likes of Dillon Brooks and Jaren Jackson Jr. have been playing their roles as supporting cast members with aplomb.

If Memphis wants to make one more addition, taking on a backup point guard with more scoring experience than Tyus Jones and the superb De’Anthony Melton would make a ton of sense. Dragic can be had, as Memphis has three non-lottery first-round picks to trade away in ant sort of trade.

Toronto Raptors rumors: Goran Dragic could back up Ja Morant.

If the Raptors want to get an ace bench player back in this swap, look no further than Kyle Anderson. While he has fallen out of the starting lineup, he averaged a career-high in points per game last season. He could become the best player on this bench if this trade happens.

Toronto could have one pick on the fringes of the lottery and a pick that originally belonged to either Memphis or Utah in the late 20s if they get this Dragic deal done. With Morant likely heading into the playoffs as a favorite, having Goran behind him will be invaluable.
