Welcome back to your Grizzlies Insider, where we deliver the latest NBA news and analysis straight to your inbox twice a week.

It also gave the Wizards a first-round selection in this summer’s NBA Draft because of a condition in a trade that sent former Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart to Washington earlier this season.
