Damn! Surprised the Grizzlies moved off Jones. Does this move the wizards out of the PG market in the draft?
I would've been interested in trying to pry Brogdon for 33. He's always hurt (not a horrible thing on a team looking to develop guards anyway), but when he's healthy, he's basically what the team needs from their PG. The Wizards had to close a deal now, so I guess they took whatever they could.
Lol. Appreciated.
I think I like Tyus more than Brogdan tbh surprising move
Marcus Smart to the Grizz
Marcus Smart to memphis
grit and grind?
Marcus Smart to Memphis in that deal
Shams
Wow makes sense now, solid addition for them
Curious what all is included but not sure why Memphis trades Jones for Smart.
lol Celtics. lol still gonna lose when it matters.
The Grizzlies are sending 2023 and 2024 first-round picks to the Celtics, sources tell ESPN. Grizzlies are sending No. 25 on Thursday night and 2024 pick via Golden State for Smart.

The draft picks ease the sting of losing Smart.
Smart showed he can play with a PG (at least insofar as his chucking no-shot ass can play with anybody), so this doesn't signal Ja getting traded. But trading their backup guard for what's probably considered to be an upgrade would make me not surprised if we see Ja moved. Imagine him getting traded to Houston for 4-plus and the Rockets sign Brooks. I'd never watch that team, but I'd watch a Hard Knocks -- esque show about them.
Seems like a terrible deal for the Grizzlies, I’m all for it.
Wonder if CP3 considers Boston now. Would make a lot of sense tbh.

So Morris and/or Wright now become almost certain to be traded.
Given Horford's age and R. Williams' lack or durability, Porzingis makes sense in giving them size without sacrificing spacing, but this doesn't solve the lack of a go-to play maker issue.
Smart can guard up positionally, but they should still pursue a big wing and make him the 6th man when Morant returns as opposed to running 3 guard lineups regularly.
Cute little moves by other teams being made before the Wemby era starts!
Boston getting 2 FRP bodes poorly for our 2028 pick swap
Two first round picks and probably the best backup PG in the league for Smart, I don’t get it.
Boston fleecing. We sure Ainge isn’t still there?
Maybe? They get 25 and GS' pick next year. Not exactly swimming in young talent. They're still trying to chase that le through a train of win-now moves. I'm not particularly confident the team is going to have a meaningful change in their future with these picks. Trading a core-ish player in Smart is a much bigger signal to me.
Grizzlies could have shopped Jones closer to the trade deadline and probably sell extremely high with him needing to start for Morant.
I don't understand what's going on. Wizards move Porzingis for... Tyus Jones?
Boston gets Porzingis and two picks?
Getting Tyus Jones, they're not looking for a PG at 8?
