Breaking News: Steven Adams Traded in a massive deal!

The Grizzlies are receiving two second-round picks in 2024 and one in 2025 as part of the Steven Adams trade with the Rockets, according to sources from ESPN.

The Grizzlies are enhancing their salary flexibility and accumulating draft assets, gearing up for the 2024 offseason. This strategic move positions them to secure a high lottery pick and strengthen their contender status around Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Desmond Bane.

The Rockets will welcome a healthy Adams at the beginning of the 2024-2025 season, providing a valuable complement to emerging star Alperen Sengun at the center position. Adams' track record as one of the league's top defensive and rebounding centers adds significant strength to the team.


Throughout his career with the Grizzlies, Steven Adams has maintained averages of 10.6 rebounds, 7.5 points, and 3.0 assists across 118 games. Meanwhile, during his playoff career, he has posted averages of 7.7 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 1.0 assists across 66 games.

As a backup center, this move will benefit the Rockets in the long run. With Sengun already performing well as a center, the addition of Adams brings a veteran presence to the locker room and enhances their rim protection, a crucial aspect for their future needs.
