The Memphis Grizzlies are on the move.
Memphis traded their No. 16 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft to the Oklahoma City Thunder, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The Grizzlies are getting two future second-round picks in return.
The Grizzlies weren't done maneuvering. After moving down to No. 17, they sent that pick to the Detroit Pistons. In return, they acquired pick No. 21 and three future second-round picks.
In total, the Grizzlies gained five total future second-round choices, according to multiple reports.
This move shouldn't come as a major surprise, given the Grizzlies' history under general manager Zach Kleiman. Memphis has been active in previous years with moving non-lottery first-round picks across the board.
Just last season, the Grizzlies traded the 16th pick for No. 11 and acquired Cedric Coward. They also gave up a future unprotected first-rounder and two second-round picks.
Memphis selected Cameron Boozer with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.
