We have our first trade of draft week, and it’s a real blockbuster. The Grizzlies have sent the rights to the 60th overall pick of the 2013 draft, Latvian wing Janis Timma, to the Magic for veteran point guard Luke Ridnour, according to Yahoo’s Adrian Wojnarowski:
The Orlando Magic has agreed to trade guard Luke Ridnour to the Memphis Grizzlies, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

For Luke Ridnour, the Grizzlies will send Orlando the rights to 2013 second-round pick Janis Timma, league sources tell Yahoo.

This is fine for all involved. Ridnour is a perfectly serviceable backup point guard for Memphis, and trading him saves the Magic about $2.7 million in cap space.
