1. Philadelphia 76ers

For this trade, the Grizzlies get an expiring deal in Mike Muscala, a young prospect in Zhaire Smith and Chicago’s second round pick, which will be in the low 30s.

The Philadelphia 76ers are definitely looking to make a move at the deadline and could use JaMychal Green, who is a more capable defender than Mike Muscala and is putting up his best statistical season so far. Additionally, Green is shooting almost 40 percent from downtown.

Omri Casspi is another shooter that can stretch the floor for the Philadelphia 76ers, who lack reliable outside shooting from everyone not named J.J. Redick or Landry Shamet.

Green has played well while going in and out of the starting lineup for the Grizzlies, and often plays the power forward position in the clutch (or when rookie phenom Jaren Jackson Jr. gets into foul trouble).

For the Grizzlies, they can take a flyer on Zhaire Smith, who has yet to play this season after dealing with allergy issues and a broken foot. Recently, the rookie was just cleared to play.

This seems to be a win-win trade for both teams. The 76ers get two players who can contribute right now, while the Grizzlies get a young player, a draft pick and cap relief.
