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 don't understand this trade at all...maybe it'll make more sense in the next day or two, but it feels like Celtics traded away Smart for very little despite it being a good draft year.
The Celtics didn't have a 1st round draft pick this year so I don't think the quality of the draft class factors much into it. But who knows? Maybe they'll find a diamond in the rough with the Grizzlies 2023 and 2024 pick.
