The Memphis Grizzlies and Utah Jazz engaged in trade talks surrounding star point guard Mike Conley at the trade deadline last season, and they have finally worked out a deal.
Shams Charania of The Athletic reports that the Grizzlies have agreed to trade Conley to Utah in exchange for Grayson Allen, Kyle Korver, Jae Crowder and draft compensation.

ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski has more details on the pick.
The Jazz will send a protected 2020 first-round pick to the Grizzlies, league sources tell ESPN. That pick will convey as a late-lottery pick in 2020 or 2021, or become a lightly-protected pick from 2022-'24. Deal complete on July 6. https://t.co/UY47lnIOWU

Conley, 31, averaged 21.1 points and 6.4 points per game last season. The scoring output was a career high. The Grizzlies have entered rebuilding mode after trading Marc Gasol to the Toronto Raptors last year, so it was only a matter of time before they parted ways with Conley.
