Grizzlies waived Niang after acquiring him in a multi-player Jazz trade. Five headlines document Memphis's deadline flurry, with Niang as salary-cap casualty. Acquiring Eric Gordon immediately after signals Niang wasn't the intended target. Fans view this as typical deadline roster churn, unremarkable in isolation. Memphis pivots to Gordon, suggesting Niang served purely as trade facilitator.
