Grizzlies get Lamarcus Aldridge; Spurs get Marc Gasol
The Spurs get to unite the Gasol brothers for 3 years (might be kinda fun) and they get out from under Aldridge, who has never fit the Spurs system. Gasol is a better passer and would fit nicely with Pau and Gay down low. In Aldridge the Grizzlies get the unconscious mid-range scoring threat they've long needed to play off of Conley and his contract is slightly smaller and 1 year shorter.
The Grizzlies get the scorer they've always needed and there's more flexibility going forward. The Spurs move off the contract they don't want and bring in a hungry veteran that already fits the culture. Not sure it actually makes either team substantially better but it feels like the puzzle pieces fit better, no?
