I don’t get this from Memphis standpoint because Marcus Smart was looking washed last season and Tyus Jones was good when filling in for Ja. Didn’t seem to mind the backup role.

This was from yesterday

"In a recent article, Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports reported that the Memphis Grizzlies are exploring trades that would land backup point guard Tyus Jones somewhere he could become a starter. Jones has been an elite backup point guard for Memphis, but struggled mightily in the playoffs this past season."

He probably wanted to start and get a bigger bag elsewhere and Grizzlies were willing to help him
