Grizzlies Draft Night 6/25

[SD2042]

The Grizzlies have the #2 pick, #27(from Orlando), and #36 in the draft. All speculations have the Grizzlies drafting Ricky Rubio, Hasheem Thabeet, Tyreke Evans, or draft and trade the pick for multiple assets. With the draft full of guards, few frontcourt players, and being a weak draft, anything can happen. Will the Grizzlies make some smart decisions to salvage this franchise or will they find a way to screw this up? We'll find out on Thursday.

Grizzlies Draft Party will be at Jason's Deli on Poplar @ Highland The start up time will be at 6:00 PM

I have a bad feeling, but am hoping for the best.

And by best, I mean getting Kevin Love in some way or form.

No matter what you should hear Ricky Rubio's name called. He's an asset that can be traded ... even in a deal for Thabeet if that's the player Wallace really wants. He needs to maximize the value of the #2 pick.

Here's what i'm hoping for:

#2 and Gay for #5, #6 and Brewer.

My anticipated reaction to Thabeet's name being called at #2 will prohibit me from attending Vernon's party or the one at the Forum. I'm afraid I just won't be pleasant to be around.

The problem with Rubio at 2 is that GMs know he doesn't want to be there, so they'll lowball the Grizzlies.

Just trade the pick before the actual draft PLEASE.

I would not want to be a GM in this draft. Having to hold your nose and draft Thabeet #2 or #3 must be awful. He should be a late first/early second round guy.

The whirlwind of trades today and we are still sitting on our hands.

Wallace needs to put forth an effort/

Congrats!

We got Thabeet. Somewhere in Grizzland there are some unhappy fans right now. I still think Thabeet may be traded sometime tonight. At least I hope for better assets.

[SD2042]

He's already there.
