Memphis was starting a rebuild and they were split on the pick. There was discussion about taking Barrett at 2.


Can you verify this?

Maybe, maybe if you literally gave up everything: Ingram, Ball, Lakers picks, our picks, you might get them to give the pick up, maybe, but at that point, what is the point?

We'd be right back where we were with AD, resources exhausted and a roster around our two stars that is a bunch of cast offs and leftovers from FA and other leagues.

I could go find a bunch of old mocks debating it back and forth. There will be speculation, but I don't know how reliable it would be. But Barrett and Morant was a debate at the time.

Memphis was super active before the draft. I know they fell in love with Morant and it was the right pick. No doubt. I just believe that everything has a price. Nothing is off the table.

That's kind of my point. It could have been done. I don't think it would have costs as much as others. Ingram was diminished at the time and didn't have as much value (with the health scare). But we were stocked otherwise.
