What happened: The Dallas Mavericks acquired Santi Aldama from the Memphis Grizzlies. Memphis received a young guard and three future draft picks, including a protected 2030 first-rounder.
Why it matters: Aldama gives Dallas a versatile 7-footer for its 2026-27 frontcourt. Memphis adds developmental talent and draft capital as it reshapes its roster.
By the numbers: Aldama averaged 14.0 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 2025-26, shooting 47.9% from the field and 35.0% from 3-point range.
What to watch: Watch how Dallas deploys Aldama and whether Memphis makes additional offseason moves.
