NBA Trades: 3 Memphis Grizzlies trades that would shock the NBA: Atlanta Hawks

Grizzlies receive: John Collins

Hawks receive: Dillon Brooks, Brandon Clarke, Danny Green, 2024 1st-Round Pick (Lottery Protected), 2026 1st-Round Pick (Lottery Protected)

This trade would see the Grizzlies add another young star to the mix in Collins, and he would give them a bunch of options up front alongside guys like Jaren Jackson Jr. and Steven Adams.

Collins and the Hawks seem to be heading for a split, but people have been saying that for two years now. However, with how long the rumors have dredged on, it seems unlikely that he’s on the team by the time next season begins.

The forward’s offensive game would make him a beautiful fit next to Jackson Jr., who is one of the best defenders in the league. Collins would provide Ja Morant with nice floor spacing and an elite lob threat.

On the flip side, the Hawks would be getting a gritty wing who could help them on both sides of the ball. Brooks would help lead their defensive unit while also giving them a nice scoring punch.

Clarke would be an interesting fit, but he could help fill in the gaps alongside Clint Capela and Onyeka Okongwu in the frontcourt. Those three would form a nice big man rotation.

But the most important pieces in this deal for Atlanta would be the firsts. They traded a ton of picks in the deal for Dejounte Murray, so recouping some in this trade would be a huge win.
