The night before the NBA Draft the Memphis Grizzlies traded away Tyus Jones and two 1st round picks to acquire Marcus Smart as part of the Kristaps Porzingis 3-team trade. This episode breaks down the trade from the Grizzlies perspective, as Memphis acquires what they hope will be their top wing defender and a playoff leader.

I enjoyed your analysis. Subbed. Go Grizz.
Love this trade for us! We are making moves to make deep playoff runs! Smart is exactly what we need here! #GrindCity
I like Smart… except i hope he doesn't chucks up to many shots. Also, he isn't the best off the ball or at shooting.
great podcast!
How did Kleinman win executive of the year? Like every decision these last two years have been a joke
Like, a season ago we were so high on the potential of this team….instead since 2021, we lost Melton, Anderson, Brooks, Tyus Jones and two coveted first round picks for Marcus Smart, LaRavia, Roddy and a 18 year old kid this draft. Not to mention the maturity of this team is at all time lows
We have a hustler, defender and a leader. Grizzlies made a good decision and now someone to fill the 3 is all we really need. Hope next season goes well, and have relatively high hopes so far
Celtics fan here: you guys just got a dog. He defends 1-5. He takes many charges, he is the most successful flopper, active hands, dpoy,streaky 3pt shooter He'll hit 3 in a row at any moment, good in the pick and roll. he's a bully in the post. Hustles every play. He dives, he flies, he's for the culture, he's a fan favorite, he's a great leader and a Great dancer. He'll fit right in.
Two late first round picks and tylus jones. That's a Win.
Taylor Jenkins needs to be let go also‼️His lineups rotation wise are HORRIBLE 🤦🏾♂️ Plus he isn’t hard nosed, we need a coach coach 💯
I think it’s hard to say that this was a win. The 1st 25 games you don’t have a true PG anymore. It will be interesting to see how you guys start. Tyus filled in for Ja multiple times over the years and was super successful. Plus in the playoffs when Tyus started (Ja hurt) vs the lakers the grizzlies won.
Defensively you definitely upgraded but todays NBA isn’t defensively focused.
