Grizzlies Trade Ziaire Williams to Nets for Diakite and Draft Rights

Memphis aims to create cap space and re-sign key players as Brooklyn adds youth and future assets.

Ziaire Williams, a 2021 top-10 pick, moves to Brooklyn after averaging 7.5 points over three seasons with Memphis.
The Grizzlies receive Mamadi Diakite, draft rights to Nemanja Dangubic, and a 2030 second-round pick via Dallas.
Memphis clears $6.1 million in salary cap space, aiding efforts to re-sign sharpshooter Luke Kennard.
Williams, 22, offers the Nets a young talent as they rebuild following a disappointing season.
Diakite, 27, has played for multiple NBA teams and has $1.39 million guaranteed on his contract.
