The Memphis Grizzlies inquired about a trade for Kevin Durant, according to ESPN’s Bob Myers. When Myers mentioned that tidbit during NBA Today’s Trade Deadline telecast, Brian Windhorst implied that he had heard similar information even though he hadn’t shared it publicly.
The Grizzlies also tried to trade for Jimmy Butler, but he did not want to be dealt there and helped end those talks. Memphis has also pursued deals for Cam Johnson and Dorian Finney-Smith, among others.
