I believe the draft day for the Grizz will go either this way...
- Grizzlies choose Rubio with the no.2 pick and keep him
or
- Grizzlies choose Rubio wtih the no.2 pick and trade him away for the best possible offer
I'm more excited about this draft night than I was the past two drafts because we actually have some leverage unlike the past two drafts.

Give a jump on the weekend box office, open on Wednesday, that's a couple day head start.
I'm still going back and forth on who I want for the Knicks, or what's gonna happen this offseason with Nate and Lee... too many things to worry about.

Dear God,
Please discourage the Memphis Grizzlies from even fanthoming the thought of Hasheem Thabeet at #2.
Thanks,

Rubio better be a King without the expense of JT, Kmart, or Hawes.

i don't think the grizzlies have any leverage at all actually.
Why is that? The outcome of the next 4-5 picks after us will decide on whether or not we take Rubio. We will take Rubio regardless if he likes it or not or ifthe media likes it or not. What we get for him is the leverage we have, because Memphis isn't trying to win right now anyway. They are willing to waitanother year if he's that serious about not playing for us. You fight fire with fire, so I'm sure they won't back down by any threat. Having the2nd pick FTW.
And the leverage also comes in when teams really want the guy and if the trade is too good to be true we will take it. What's funny is how people canbelieve the speculation of Rubio not wanting to play in Memphis, but when trades come about that favor the Grizz then its not true. If Memphis doesn't pickRubio, I don't know what I'll do or the city. Most basketball knowledge Memphis fans want Rubio.

that's delusional. how is that leverage in any way? picking a player who doesn't want to play for the team? that's not leverage. this is like the exact situation when the team drafted steve francis and was forced to trade him away. they didn't get much in return. when teams knowthe player doesn't want to play there, they're gonna undercut the team with offers.
you continue to believe that rubio wants to play for memphis yet he, his agent and his entire camp have suggested otherwise. obviously, you can never trusteverything you read, but there's something in the air that suggests that other teams aren't going to cave in to memphis' trade demands. maybethat's why i don't see memphis with any type of leverage.

You can't trade restricted free agents until the signing period begins in July...
