The Memphis Grizzlies are finalizing a deal to send Ben McLemore (and more) back to the Sacramento Kings for Garrett Temple. Here are NBA Trade Grades for the move.

As the Memphis Grizzlies carry on with their quietly decent offseason, the Sacramento Kings continue to go full KANGZ whenever the opportunity presents itself.

As reported by ESPN‘s Adrian Wojnarowski, Memphis has agreed to send Ben McLemore back to the team that originally drafted him in 2013, along with big man Deyonta Davis and cash. Per the Daily Memphian‘s Chris Herrington, Sacramento will also receive a 2021 second round pick in the deal.

The Kings, meanwhile, will send Garrett Temple to the Grizz, giving Memphis an experienced, underrated and well-respected veteran who can spend time at either guard spot.

The question is, how will Temple bolster the Grizzlies’ playoff hopes, and what on earth are the Kings doing (an evergreen question at this point)? In order to sort it out, here are the latest NBA Trade Grades.
