You may find it hard to believe, but the Grizzlies were not interested in fielding any offers for the #2 pick. They were very clear about it at the time. Give it up.

Just chiming in. They can say that, but if you offer this...

Probably, but at the time, not necessarily 100%.

Ingram was a huge question mark both as a player(remember, this is Ingram before the improved shooting, MIP season), and right around the blood clot scare.

Lonzo was a poor shooting point guard that was only so-so defensively. By all accounts he was a major bust.

Jrue was Jrue, but you arent building a core around him. Only person in the league that bought the Jrue is a superstar bullshite was Griff....And I dont think he really did either.

The rest you are basically selling them a mystery box. They know what they are getting at 2, but there is no guarantee they get another Morant with our picks or the Lakers.

Point is it's not that cut and dry. But it's also a pointless exercise because it would have been stupid on our part to essentially give away all our talent and assets for one rookie player as a small market.

One part you're not factoring in is the massive salary outgoing.

Memphis would have to give up pieces they consider valuable just to make this even possible.

And also, Pels talk would have melted down if we made that deal lol.
