For some reason, the Memphis Grizzlies and the Boston Celtics have been the SpongeBob and Patrick of the NBA when it comes to trading. Meaning, they’re trade buddies. Just in recent memory, they did a Courtney Lee, Jerryd Bayless swap in 2013. They pulled off a deal that sent Jeff Green to Memphis — and the pick that holds the Grizzlies’ future is with Boston now. Earlier this summer, prior to the Kyrie trade, Marc Gasol’s name was linked to Boston. Now, it’s looking like Tyreke Evans may be on his way to Boston.
The Memphis Grizzlies have shut down Evans until a deal is done.
