Adrian Wojnarowski: PICKS TRADE: The Memphis Grizzlies are trading three second-round picks to the Phoenix Suns for two first-round pick swaps (2024 and 2030) and Isaiah Todd, sources tell ESPN. The seconds are 2025 via Pels, and Memphis’ 2028 and 2029 picks.

Since reports I’ve seen have completely obfuscated this: **The Isaiah Todd trade is a salary dump** Memphis gets potentially massively valuable pick-swap in 2030 (and also 2024 swap) in return for three seconds and taking on Todd; Suns save ~$9 million in salary + tax. – 1:30 AM

Was going to write about Isaiah Todd for tomorrow, but for Grizzlies fans curious about their new 21-year-old forward, here’s what Suns assistant Quinton Crawford had to say about him today: pic.twitter.com/oaF6QbfOWN9:24 PM

Looks like the Suns freed up that final roster spot to get it down to 15 after all. They also snag 3 second-rounders in the process (most likely as future trade chips). I wish Isaiah Todd well. Only spoke with him once, but he’s got a good head on his shoulders and wants to learn – 9:15 PM

Isaiah Todd said he gets “emotional” thinking about “winning a championship” with Bradley Beal as they were teammates in Washington. #Suns pic.twitter.com/lkk3s8H2kv3:34 PM

“It was kind of exciting, especially to still be with my mentor and big brother.”
Jordan Goodwin said he learned Bradley Beal was traded to the Suns when he checked Instagram, then 5 minutes later got the call that he was going too. Glad to still be with Beal and Isaiah Todd pic.twitter.com/LhBkt15MM43:31 PM

More on this storyline

Gerald Bourguet: “I almost get emotional just thinking about us winning a championship one day, everything that he might have went through behind closed doors and watching him as a kid.” I asked Isaiah Todd about having Bradley Beal and Jordan Goodwin here in Phoenix to help him acclimate: pic.twitter.com/5dzHW76U7A -via Twitter @GeraldBourguet / July 5, 2023
Duane Rankin: “I came straight here.” Isaiah Todd on being part of the Bradley Beal trade as he’s been here in Phoenix for nearly two weeks. #Suns pic.twitter.com/zHNmxJZ23Y -via Twitter @DuaneRankin / July 5, 2023
Gerald Bourguet: Including the non-guaranteed/partially guaranteed deals for Ish Wainright and Jordan Goodwin, the Suns are at 15 players. Likely means two-way deals for Toumani Camara and Saben Lee, and that Torrey Craig/Bismack Biyombo are gone unless someone (Isaiah Todd?) is waived -via Twitter @GeraldBourguet / July 2, 2023
