Sources cited by media describe the move as part of the Grizzlies’ continued rebuilding after years of on-court and off-court turmoil associated with Morant.

The agreement is described as having been reached between the Trail Blazers and Grizzlies, with the trade subject to standard league procedures. At least one report notes that the transaction awaits NBA approval and physicals.
