BROOKLYN BRINGS IN ZIAIRE WILLIAMS

The Brooklyn Nets acquired guard/forward Ziaire Williams and a second-round draft pick in 2030 from the Memphis Grizzlies for forward Mamadi Diakite and guard Nemanja Dangubic.

What does it give the Brooklyn Nets
Williams should get a better opportunity with the Nets, a team that is a lot further away from contention than the Grizzlies. Brooklyn is also getting a future second-rounder in this deal.

What does it give the Memphis Grizzlies
The Nets are giving Williams a chance to play more by trading him, while it also opens up a spot in the team's rotation. Diakite is a depth forward, while Dangubic should remain overseas.

Fantasy impact
Is Williams worth picking up at this time? Maybe in very deep leagues. Otherwise, keep an eye on him throughout the 2024-25 season with Brooklyn. Diakite has no fantasy value.
