The Memphis Grizzlies are in discussions with a number of teams to trade the No. 4 pick in Thursday's NBA draft, league sources tell ESPN. Any such trade would likely include forward Chandler Parsons, whose contract is considered an albatross because of his knee problems.

The Grizzlies have several potential trade partners, as the Dallas Mavericks, Orlando Magic, Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks, Denver Nuggets, Boston Celtics and LA Clippers have shown varying degrees of interest in a deal, a source told ESPN.

I would consider Kyrie for Parsons and #4.

But probably pass...

God no.

A third team taking Parson's deal is a very very tall ask. I don't think that noise is real. Whomever takes that contract is going to demand a premium pick.

Or..."give us one of Hayward/Brown/Tatum/Kyrie and we will absorb Chandler Parsons' contract for ya. You get your #4 pick. Everyone wins."  ;D

A team is needed to take Parsons?  How about Cleveland, along with Gasol and Conley.

Grizzlies receive Thompson, Hill, Clarkson and JR. Smith, pick 8, Memphis 2019 pick, Sac. pick.,

Celtics receive pick 4.


Memphis starts an excellent rebuild process with a bunch of guys they can jettison and two more high first rounders....

Cleveland gets better (but still not good enough imo)

The Celtics cash in two high picks for #4 this year (hopefully take Bamba).

If you wish to say the Celtics don't give up enough to snag pick 4, then simply say which picks you would add on....

Getting even spicier!
Not loading for me what’s the tweet?

That the Celtics would want a third team to take on Parsons for them...and would give that third team a pick/s to make it happen (Celts don't want to add Parsons).   Above see my trade which sends Parsons to Cleveland but Memphis gets the picks from Boston because they also give up Conley and Gasol....(they give Celts pick 4 but get pick 8, Sac pick and Memphis 2019).

It's just a retweet, but the guy's tweet "If Ainge is able to get a top 4 pick without trading a key player...."

Retweeting a speculation of package involving SAC '19 and MEM pick to MEM for #4, but also tryna find a third team to absorb Parsons' contract and a pick.

If Ainge can only do that without losing a key player, however. That'll be some fireworks though.

What about Dallas?

#4 to Boston
SAC19, Marcus Morris ($5M), Wesley Matthews ($18.6M) to Memphis
#27, Rozier, Parsons ($24.1M) to Dallas

Memphis claims they want to compete this year. They get two quality veterans, dump Parsons, and still swap into the SAC pick next year.

Dallas picks up a 1st rounder, Rozier, tanks, and pays Parsons 1 more year than Matthews.

Boston flips SAC19, Rozier and #27 for #4... probably Bamba unless Doncic is somehow there.

I got the impression from the tweet that that's more than Boston wants to give up for #4.  Something about no key players being included...

Yeah I guess it depends what you mean by "key". I know Ainge has always been pretty high on Rozier, but he's also not a starter next year and I highly doubt would hold back chasing a top-5 talent that we like.

There are tons of similar rumours rn

Last one I read is that D. Dedmon exercised his player option to be included in a package with the Hawks 3rd pick

https://fansided.com/2018/06/21/dewayne-dedmon-option-timing-should-raise-trade-suspicions-hawks/

Same story every year with the pre-draft rumours, most of them is just speculation that anyone with some knowledge of the NBA could come up with
