Following Potential 2018 Draftees

I don't see Grizzlies giving up the 4th pick just to get rid of Parsons at all. Parsons could very well be back to being a fairly servicable player next year, and they are not rebuilding. Obviously, if could get 4+Parsons for 21+Burks+scrubs, that's a great trade, but I strongly doubt that could happen.

Since this is considered to be a deep draft, another option would be to trade Parsons and No. 4 for a lower pick, perhaps in the 10-14 range. That way Memphis could still build for the future, while shedding a salary that severely limits their options moving forward.

Memphis wants to dump Parsons and are willing to trade down to do so. Is #21 in the 10-14 range? No, but #21, a 2019 1st when Memphis doesn't have one, and young prospect Bradley, and $25 million in 2019 cap space might bend their ear a little bit.

I think our chances are very low, but we should be talking to Memphis a ton this week to keep pushing this trade. If Doncic or Jaren Jackson Jr are there at #4, we push for it come draft night. We could hold out on sending Crowder until the very last moment. We tell them the whole time that he's untouchable and then on draft night cave and make him part of the deal.
 
Real wins game 3 and leads 2-1 in the Finals of the ACB. Doncic finishes with 20/9/3/2 in 24 minutes(4/9FG, 2/5 3pFG, 10/11 FT)

Pass on him at your own risk.

Also, not to say that Doncic isnt good or anything, but whenever i watch him so many of his highlight assist happen because Tavares is tall AF and no one in European basketball is close to that height or athletic enough to disrupt passes at the top of his catch radius.

I wonder how he will be without such a huge roll man advantage, because none of the teams he is projected to go to have a top one.

You put an injured *** Michael Porter ahead of him.

:oops:

I really like the idea of MPJ... I have no idea if he will ever be healthy but if he is I like his upside slightly better than Doncic. If my job was on the line though, I'd probably choose Doncic because of the health risks with Porter.
 
Grayson Allen is like 5 years older than joe Johnson... let’s take someone else.
 


That's pretty impressive for a last workout. All these dudes are probably at their most fatigued. Evans has done at least 5 straight workouts with no rest.

If we trade down and take him, I'm fine. If we stay at #21 and take him, there will be some unhappy people.

This. I think Allen could be a decent trade chip because he'll produce from the start as a shooter off the bench. If the Jazz could drop to later in the 1st and get a pick in the 30's or early 40's, Utah could have a couple of decent prospects. I don't get the "too old" argument. Yes, it's an era of 1-and-done, but it wasn't too long ago players stayed in college for 4 years and then had long, productive careers. With many of the younger guys, it takes their rookie contract before they're decent rotation players. Then you're paying them $15M on a 2nd contract for 3-4 years.
 
The Grizzlies aren't trading #4 unless someone takes Parsons AND gives them pieces to help them win now. They want to make the playoffs next year. Someone might give them an offer they like, but it won't be the Jazz.

The only players that would move the needle for them are Crowder and Ingles. I actually think Ingles would fit really well there, but I would have a really, really hard time pulling the trigger on that.
