I mean all signs point to the answer would have been no, there were rumors at the time of godfather offers from teams to Memphis and they shut them down.


We always do this. "Would you take my $.45 worth of dimes and nickels for that shiny quarter?" That only works when a player forces his way out and limits the team's options while doing so. The thing teams hope to get with all of those picks you'd give them is someone like Ja. Why would they take a bunch of shots that at best get them what they already have?

Yeah, what we actually tried to do with the #4 pick (trade it for Myles Turner) was the best move. I didn't think that Turner was worth it at the time, and I definitely don't think so now, but we would have been so much better off if Indiana had taken that deal, as we wouldn't have spent later picks on Adams and Valanciunas.

[Edit: Bronc is correct that "best" is not the right word. It would have been so much better than what we actually did, though.]
