Utah sending a package of players including forwards Jae Crowder and Kyle Korver, along with draft picks, to Memphis, league sources said.

Memphis is trading franchise star Mike Conley Jr. to Utah, league sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.

I think that's good for Celtics fans hoping the Grizzlies stink next year

Good. We need Memphis to embrace the suck the next 2 years.

This is the first good news for us for a while.  1- glad it wasn’t us doing that trade 2- better chances for a good draft pick next year

Utah just became very dangerous

Which is terrific imo, very likeable team especially with another one of my favorite non-Celtics in Conley

Also its Grayson Allen, Korver, Crowder, 23rd pick this year, and a future first that is protected so that it will either be late lottery in 20 or 21, or lightly protected 22-24. Good value.

Good move for both teams.

Thought it would cost more to get Conley. Does this mean Rubio is gone?

Rubio's been gone since the Playoff ended from what I've read. Utah were not interested in bringing him back and I don't think he wanted them to.

Utah > Lakers ??

Utah > Lakers ??

Hope so.

Great move, very excited to see Utah with a PG like Conley to give them someone other than Mitchel to create.

Love it for Utah. Conley seems like the ideal point for Mitchell, and Snyder is smart.

Reuniting old mates Crowder and AB is nice. Hope AB can put up some good empty numbers while Memphis bottom out for the next two years

Utah > Lakers ??

In the regular season probably?

Lakers only have 3 rotation players locked in so hard to say actually now that I think of it. I do really like Utah.

[celticinorlando]

Would not mind Rubio in Boston. Rather have him than Rozier.

You're right, but I'm depressed that 'good news' in the off-season doesn't have impact for another year.  I'm really starting to worry about this C's team for 2019-2020 season.  They could be highly mediocre.
