The Dallas Mavericks acquire forward/center Santi Aldama from the Memphis Grizzlies in an offseason trade, according to multiple reports. The Athletic and Yahoo Sports describe the move as a trade that adds another player to Dallas’s frontcourt rotation, where roster space is already a consideration. Yahoo Sports reports that Dallas uses Anthony Davis-related trade assets and a trade exception connected to that transaction to obtain Aldama. The Grizzlies are described as agreeing to the deal that brings Aldama to Dallas, with the specifics of the mechanism including Dallas absorbing an Aldama-related trade exception created by the Anthony Davis trade. One Yahoo Sports report frames the acquisition as part of Dallas’s broader offseason strategy to add a versatile seven-footer who can provide floor-spacing and defensive flexibility, while another notes that Memphis receives a different piece in the end arrangement, including the replacement of Aldama’s production with Quinten Post after Memphis signs him. Across outlets, all describe Aldama’s arrival in Dallas as the central outcome of the trade with Memphis.
