Yossi Gozlan: AJ Johnson comes up just short of a straight up salary match for Jordan Hawkins. To avoid absorbing Hawkins with their $29 million trade exception, they include Taj Gibson. Johnson, like most players traded in early July, just had his trade aggregation restriction expire. Taj Gibson has a $3.8 million salary that is non-guaranteed. His guarantee will increase from $0 to at least $149k to fulfill the salary match for Hawkins. The Grizzlies can then absorb Micah Peavy with one of their smaller exceptions.
Keith Smith: Trade Mechanics: 🏀Taj Gibson will have $200K of his contract guaranteed. That way he and AJ Johnson's contracts match salary for Jordan Hawkins. 🏀MEM will bring Micah Peavy in via the $4.3M Ja Morant TPE.
