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.

I'm not a Celtics fan but I actually like this gamble on Porzingis for them. He had a great season and while the Celtics have been close I feel like after the loss to my Heat they did need to shake things up. I guess this means they're keeping Brown? Also Smart to the Grizz means no more Dillon Brooks?

1 - Yes (I don't think was ever a question)

2 - see #1

If I have all the details correct:

Grizzlies get Marcus Smart

Wizards get Tyus Jones, Gallinari, Muscala, Boston's 35th pick

Boston gets Porzingis, Grizzlies 2023 1st round pick, and 2024 1st round pick (via Golden State)

This trade is bananas. Why would Brad tear apart one of the strongest contending teams? KP is unproven in the playoffs while Smart is battle tested.

It is pretty bananas. Let it not be said that Brad is afraid to shake shit up though!

Love this for the Grizz ❤️ We get a DPOY and leader who replaces Brooks in the starting lineup, and we ship out two late firsts we have zero need for and a small guard who never fit well next to Ja for someone who will be playing big time minutes. We basically filled two or three needs by bringing in one player. PLUS Smart is locked in to a very reasonable contract.
