Okay, this is way out of the realm of KingsRap. I've been really lenient with putting Personnel Moves in the main forum for the duration, but this is pure hypothetical.
Of course Vlade was murdered for giving up an unprotected first in a salary dump - much less #4 in a stacked draft class... so it can never happen unless we give up Fox or Bogi+ imo.
Why would Memphis give up the #4 pick to clear cap space? Who on earth is going to sign with Memphis that's any good and is capable of turning their team around? It's almost the same as us giving up our pick to get rid of ZBo/Shumpert/Temple so we could clear cap space to sign no one of any significance.
This pick in a strong draft is way more valuable than the load that Parsons' contract carries over the team.

Yeah, would be absolutely idiotic by Memphis but lets not forget that a certain Gm did a similar trade so that he could sign Marco Bellinelli. Just have to hope that there are other stupid Gms out there
