NBA: Grizzlies, Pels agree to trade

The Grizzlies have agreed to trade center Jonas Valanciunas to the Pelicans in exchange for center Steven Adams, guard Eric Bledsoe and a swap of multiple draft choices, a person familiar with the situation said.

The trade, first reported by ESPN and which cannot become official until Aug. 6, sends New Orleans’ 10th and 40th overall draft choices to Memphis for the Grizzlies’ 17th and 51st overall picks this year. Memphis also will receive a protected 2022 first-round choice from New Orleans.
