The Grizzlies traded Santi Aldama — the final piece of Grz Nxt Gen. I wrote some quick thoughts on the asset plays from this trade, specifically with the collection and further utilization of the draft capital and with their existing exceptions

Santi forgive them as they do not what they are doing.
Kleinman and Thomas are like two peas in a pod,,,failures.

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

Dallas acquires a versatile forward as Memphis continues to stack draft capital. The deal also allows the Grizzlies to preserve its full $29 million trade exception from the Jaren Jackson Jr. trade, which otherwise would have been reduced by their earlier offseason dealings.

OMax and GG can go

Cason Wallace/Ty Jerome
Cedric Coward/Jaylen Wells
Jerami Grant/GG Jackson
Cameron Boozer/OMax Prosper
Zach Edey/Isaiah Stewart

Reserves: Pippen Jr./Spencer/Lopez

Why trade? Get rid of others

[Coach Von. @ohokvontae]

Santi Aldama is expected to be traded, officially closing the book on GRZNXTGEN.

S. L. A. P.
Size • Length • Athleticism • Physicality

The Memphis frontcourt has reached unprecedented depth in franchise history. The roster currently features more than 10+ players measuring 6’7” or taller with plus wingspans, including Edey, Stewart, Boozer, Hendricks, Grant, Lopez, Murray, Wells, GG Jackson, OMax Prosper, Cooper, and others. In addition, each of these players play with a physicality that Santi just hasn’t shown in his Grizzlies stint.

Santi’s Scoring
Young core catching up

Aldama posted a career-high 14.0 points per game last season (18.1 points per 36 minutes). However, several of his positional peers posted stronger per-36 scoring in 2026:
• Cedric Coward – 19.0 points per 36
• Zach Edey – 19.0 points per 36
• GG Jackson – 21.0 points per 36
• Jerami Grant – 22.5 points per 36
• Taylor Hendricks – 16.8 points per 36 (while averaging 3 stocks per 36)

The Grizzlies also added two frontcourt players in the first round of the 2026 NBA Draft.
Aldama was outperformed in key areas by the emerging talent around him.

Roster crunch
Trade is on the way

Roster construction adds further context. The team currently sits at 18 players under contract (excluding three two-way deals) and must trim to the standard 15-man limit. They remain below the salary cap floor and will need to reach it through a Jaylen Wells extension, free-agent additions, or a trade.
Given the excess roster spots, a trade is the most practical solution to both consolidate the roster and address cap requirements.

This move would mark a clear shift in how the Grizzlies are allocating minutes and resources to their developing frontcourt.

What are your thoughts on the potential trade of Santi Aldama?

[Larry Patrick @pops901]

Not unless GG get traded as well

[Grizzlies SZN @Grizzlies_szn]

If Santi gets traded then GG Jackson will be the Grizzlies longest tenured player. 😳

A new era.

What seed in the West does Ja Morant take the Blazers to? 👀🍿

𝗥𝗘𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧: The Grizzlies are exercising GG Jackson’s $2.4 million team option for next season.

No

[• 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗲𝗱𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁¹² @MaskedMem12]

Grizzlies hanging 12 in the rafters?

[Larry Patrick @pops901]

Pippen and Santi stay

[Growl Towel Central @GTC901]

There’s so many players on this roster right now. I can confidently say some of these players have a high chance of not being on the roster come October:

Walter Clayton Jr
Scottie Pippen Jr
Ryan Rupert
Taj Gibson
Santi Aldama
KCP
Jahmi Mashack
Taylor Hendricks

Who stays?

[Larry Patrick @pops901]

Celebrity status went to his head early

[Harbinger of Memphis JT @JoshMTown12]

Whether Ja Morant stays in Memphis or not I’ll always root for him. He’s the first player in a Grizz jersey to have his own shoe means something as a 28 year old born and raised in Memphis. He put the city on the map despite his mistakes which we all make. 12 forever good with me

[Larry Patrick @pops901]

The GM

[Sam Block @theblockspot]

Ja is gone.
Bane is gone.
Melton is gone.
Tillman is gone.
Konchar is gone.
Tyus Jones is gone.
Dillon Brooks is gone.
Taylor Jenkins is gone.
Kyle Anderson is gone.
Ziaire Williams is gone.
Steven Adams is gone.
Jaren Jackson Jr. is gone.

What happened to the Grizzlies ???

[Larry Patrick @pops901]

No picks just 2 for 1

[Jonathan Louis May @jmay11]

Picks involved or no?? SOMEONE TELL ME!

[Larry Patrick @pops901]

Trade Him

[GrindHouse Grizzlies (Spaces) @SpacesGrizzlies]

I’ve been team GG before day 1 like I am team Lopez before day 1 but truth is Grizzlies wings aren’t good enough to compete yet no matter who starts at the 3 right away. Bring in 1 preferably 2 wings that’s proven starters and competing could become a discussion until then it’s just happy to be here like it’s been the past 8 seasons

[Larry Patrick @pops901]

Bring him back next year, put up or shut up

[Parker Fleming @PAKA_FLOCKA]

Why would Memphis give up a pick AND take on the Poeltl contract??

[Larry Patrick @pops901]

Drop Clayton, not sure about him

[GrindHouse Grizzlies (Spaces) @SpacesGrizzlies]

Grizz Summer League team going to be pretty damn good.

Walt/Small
Ced
Lopez
Boozer
Hopefully Vessar

[Larry Patrick @pops901]

Congratulations to both officers for keeping us safe.

[Bartlett Police @BARTLETTPOLICE]

Huge congrats to both Inspector E. Leppanen who reached 35 years 🤯, and Officer A. Meadows who reached 10 years!
