Sources: Grizzlies Send Conley to Jazz for Three Players and Picks
An NBA source has said that the Memphis Grizzlies traded Mike Conley to the Utah Jazz in exchange for Jae Crowder, Kyle Korver and Grayson Allen, as well as the 23rd overall pick in the draft on Thursday and a future first round pick.
Sources in the league said the future draft pick would be a 2020 protected first round pick the Grizzlies would receive from the Jazz. The deal cannot be completed until July 6 by NBA rules, as that is when the official 2019 season begins for the league.
