Eastern Conference Team Linked to Memphis Grizzlies' Guard

The Memphis Grizzlies are likely to trade at least one guard from their current roster. NBA Insider Brett Siegel reports that the team has been actively shopping guards Cole Anthony and John Konchar in trade discussions both before and during the NBA Summer League. This potential move aligns with the team's roster changes and a possible shift towards giving more playing time to younger players.

John Konchar, specifically, is drawing interest from multiple teams, including the Brooklyn Nets. Siegel confirms the Nets previously expressed interest in Konchar before the February trade deadline. Konchar is expected to be traded this offseason, partly because the Grizzlies are looking to reduce costs.

Konchar, a 29-year-old who joined the Grizzlies as an undrafted free agent in 2019, has spent parts of the last six seasons with the team. He started 23 games in both the 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons, averaging a career-high 5.1 points per game in 2022-23. While he has notable past performances like a 19-point, 10-rebound game in November 2022, he hasn't scored in double figures since January 2024.
