Warriors and Grizzlies can trade with three teams, and the Warriors win a center with 2.13 meters and can shoot three-pointers

The Golden State Warriors are expected to make great strides in the 2025 offseason and make some deals that will help the team change their competitiveness. After winning Jimmy Butler, they believed they had the ability to win the championship, but after being beaten in the playoffs, they also said that they would strengthen the inside in the offseason and give up their past five-squad.

After all, the teams that have won the championship in the past few seasons have not achieved success on the Death Five Small Team, they have achieved success on their outstanding inside lineups. Draymond Green is old and they need a better center to help Stephen Curry win his fifth solo career.

For this reason, Fadeaway World proposes that the Golden State Warriors try to make a three-team mutually beneficial trade with the Brooklyn Nets and the Memphis Grizzlies in the 2025 offseason, because the Nets and the Grizzlies have momentum of reconstruction, and they have many good inside players who can trade.

Golden State Warriors won: Santi Aldama

Memphis Grizzlies won: Noah Cloney, Keane Johnson, 2026 first-round pick exchange (GSW)

Brooklyn Nets won: Moses Moody, 2030 second-round pick (GSW)

Golden State Warriors won an outstanding young inside player. Santi Aldama was the 30th pick in the first round of 2021, with a height of 2.13 meters. As a center who is only 24 years old, he averaged 12.5 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game in the 2024-25 regular season, with a three-point shooting percentage of 36.8%. In the playoffs, averaged 13 points, 6 rebounds, and a three-point shooting percentage of up to 41%.

As a tall inside player, he has certain three-point shooting ability, which is a very popular center in today's NBA. However, according to US News Matt Moore, the Memphis Grizzlies actually planned to trade and send Santi Aldama away by signing first and then changing. There is nothing we can do about the Grizzlies. Considering that Santi Aldama will become an unrestricted free agent this summer, his contract may also soar. The transaction will send him away in exchange for some younger players or future draft picks. The operation that best meets the Grizzlies' existing needs.

The Golden State Warriors must first figure out one thing, that is, Santi Aldama does not have the real starting strength yet. He can become the core of the substitute, average about 20 minutes per game, or play several starters in a row, but his physical fitness and confrontational ability are not enough to support him as the starting core of the Golden State Warriors throughout the season. However, for the Golden State Warriors, such an inside line is enough.

Grizzlies gained some rebuilding chips. After sending Desmond Bain away, the Grizzlies made a statement that Jamorant and Jaylen Johnson are players that cannot be traded. So, they need to get some good defenders to make up for Desmond Bain's departure.

The Grizzlies have obtained the right to exchange the 2028 first-round draft picks from Nets players Noah Crowney and Keane Johnson, as well as the Warriors, from this deal, which can be said to be a sure profit. Forward Crowney is only 20 years old and has two years left in the contract. He averaged 9.1 points and 3.3 rebounds per game in the 2024-25 season. Guard Keane Johnson is only 23 years old, averaging 10.6 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists in the 2024-25 season.
