The Grizzlies reportedly made one deal ahead of the NBA trade deadline on Thursday. Here's what it means for the rest of the season and beyond

Golden State is hoping to climb the standings, but for the Grizzlies, they’re in a different spot. Memphis (35-16) remains in sole possession of the No. 2 seed after a win against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday. With that game now finished, all eyes have shifted to Thursday’s 2 p.m. trade deadline.

The Marcus Smart era with the Grizzlies came to an end right before Thursday’s trade deadline. Smart is headed from the Grizzlies to the Wizards in a multi-team trade as first reported by ESPN’s Shams Charania. The Grizzlies are sending a first-round pick to the Wizards while Memphis gets two second-round picks.
