DALLAS DEALS FOR DELON WRIGHT

The Dallas Mavericks acquired guard Delon Wright from the Memphis Grizzlies for center Satnam Singh and two future second-round draft picks.

What does it give the Dallas Mavericks
For Dallas, Wright gives them options and versatility at the guard position. He can play either the point or off the ball, and can also come off the bench and be a leader for the second unit. He is likely to back up Luka Doncic in Dallas and possibly serve as the sixth man off the bench.

What does it give the Memphis Grizzlies
For the Grizzlies, this deal is mostly about recuperating future assets after accepting the sign-and-trade deal with Dallas for Wright. Singh is a 7-2 project center, while the second-rounders are for down the road. Rookie Ja Morant and newcomer De'Anthony Melton will man the point in Memphis moving forward.

Fantasy impact
Wright could become a fantasy factor if his role grows with Dallas. He is worthy of late-round consideration in deeper drafts. Singh is a long shot to ever garner much fantasy attention, and first he has to sign with Memphis. That is not a given.
