Mavericks acquire Santi Aldama from Grizzlies for AJ Johnson

The Dallas Mavericks have acquired Santi Aldama from the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for AJ Johnson, a 2030 first-round pick, and two future second-round picks. Aldama, who averaged 14 points and 6.7 rebounds last season, missed the latter half of the season due to a knee injury. This trade follows significant changes within the Mavericks' organization, including the hiring of head coach Dusty May and new front-office leadership. Aldama is entering the second year of a three-year, $52.5 million contract and joins the Mavericks as they undergo a roster transformation.
