I am a Memphis Grizzlie fan and I have heard some rumors of us trading down and I wanted to know what you think about this trade with you guys. Memphis trades #2 (Ricky Rubio) and maybe Darko Milicic or Darrell Arthur to Sacremento for Jason Thompson and #4 (James Harden). The Grizzlies get their starting Power Forward we need and a good 6th man. The Kings get their potential star PG and can move Hawes to PF and Darko at Center or play Arthur at PF. What do yall think?
Trade With Memphis
- Thread starter grizz32
- Start date
No offense, but I would offer our #4 + #31 for the #2. If you look at the past drafts, thats been fairly common to offer an early 2nd rd pick as incentive to move up 1 or 2 spots.
I mean, Rubio has potential. But so does guys like Evans and Holiday. There is no reason to give up young talent like JT or Hawes to get someone that has just about the same potential as the other PGs. This draft may not be deep in terms of hyped potential superstars. But his yr's draft is the deepest of PGs in many yrs. I think we can get an all star PG at #4 also.
There are some good responses to this similar proposal as mentioned on draftexprees in this thread:

Not eager to give up JT or Hawes -- two most important young pieces we have. Almost anything else could be on the table.

Hawes isn't a PF. I literally hate Milicic, and I think he hates the NBA. I want no part of him on my team. I can almost guarantee you that when his current contract is up, he will flee back to europe. Arthur is an undersized power forward, who may eventually turn into another Millsap, but I wouldn't bet on it.
Both those players make a combined salary next year of $8,590,480.00. Thompson will make $2,035,920.00. So we would be taking on an additional $6,554,560.00 in salary, along with two players I don't like, just to move up two spots in the draft. I'll pass thank you.

Personally, I'm high on Conley; and I suspect I am of the minority here. But I wouldn't do #4 + Greene for Conley. I'd consider if it's Conley for #4 straight up but that depends on how the PG plays out, which is too early to tell at this point.
Btw, why don't you guys just draft Thabeet and go home happy? I mean, the worst rebounding team in the league gets the biggest guy in the draft, it looks like a match made in heaven.

Um, you came here and asked what we would think of your idea. Sorry if the responses don't meet your needs but we suffered through a very long and dismal season to get the worst record in the league and still only ended up with the #4 pick.
Sorry if we're not willing to give away that hard-earned pick to make your team better.

Don't come in with that sob story. We had the worst record in the league when Oden, Durant, or Horford would be great to get. But we got the #4. The next year we are the 4th worst. And the next year the 6th. You have no clue how it feels to be the laughing stock of the NBA because your owner wont spend any money and no one goes to the games
I'm not coming in with anything.
You guys dumped Pau Gasol to the Lakers in arguably the most questionable trade to ever be completed in the NBA. THAT'S when you became a laughing stock, again IMHO.
As I said, you came here asking for opinions and you're getting them. Acting like we're being unfair is like stepping into a cow pasture and pretending to be surprised you get bullpoop on your shoes.
And what's with the attitude, dude?

Obviously you don't want Rubio either or else you wouldn't be entertaining moving down. I'm just curious, if not Thabeet or Rubio who do you want the Grizz to draft? Jordan Hill perhaps? He seems to me to be the best fit, although he is the least likely to be a star out of the top picks. Or perhaps someone else?
