ANALYSIS: Beverley was traded to Memphis from the Clippers a few days ago, and now he's headed to Minnesota to provide a much-needed defensive boost in the backcourt. The Wolves had a hole at backup point guard after trading Ricky Rubio to Cleveland.

In return, the Grizzlies get a sharpshoting forward in Hernangomez. They also look to revitalize Jarrett Culver, who still has room to grow as a 22-year-old sixth overall pick from the 2019 NBA Draft.
