With the 35th Pick... Jarnell Stokes (traded)

[Ron Mexico]

Maybe DL is trying to leave roster spots open for a trade. Maybe we get Stauskas and the Kings garbage to free them of dead weight??? A man can hope.

2nd round pick does not tie up a roster spot.

 

[Avery]

This only makes sense if we're getting the 2016 pick and the Griz are giving us cash to buy another second rounder this draft. Otherwise, trading #35 for what is going to be a lower pick makes absolutely zero sense (especially as future picks are downgraded in value).

I'll still take this draft and stealing Exum and Hood, but I don't get this move unless there's more to it.

 

[QuinSnydersHair]

True.

 

[QuinSnydersHair]

So annoyed we missed out on Early. I'm pleased overall though.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Memphis could easily be worse than us 2 years from now doe.

Randolph/Gasol aren't getting younger and they are still a cheap team.

 

[kabenac]

This is Memphis getting us back for the Ronnie Brewer trade.

 

[Stifle Tower]

Need to get more than a second rounder, losing value, especially as deep as the draft is this year.

Agree. Why not draft and stash a Euro? Memphis' pick next season will be in the back half of the 2nd round in a weaker draft. Lost a TON of value on this trade.

Minnesota just traded #44 for $1 million.

2016 2nd round pick > $1 million

 

[kabenac]

No mention of cash....

 

[Avery]

Well, they announced it on the draft that no cash was involved, so I guess that's that.

Still don't get it. It was already said earlier, but it's as if I ask you to give me $20 today and you give me $10 back to cover it.

Minnesota just traded #44 for $1 million.

2016 2nd round pick > $1 million

How do you figure? If you can trade for a second round pick this year for a million bucks, it's probably about the same in 2016
