Nets say no immediately IMO
They may not say No right away. In a trade situation, you toss an offer out there, with an idea as to what the maximum you would go to make a deal. If they counter, and you're in the ball park, then you make the deal.
What if, we offered this, and they countered and asked for the Memphis pick as well? There might be a deal that could be made.
It's not always just a No, until negotiations stop.
