ESPN reports Love, Miller, Cardnal, and Collins to Wolves for Mayo, Jaric, Walker, and Buckner

Love, Miller, Cardinal, Collins

for

Mayo, Jaric, Buckner, Antoine Walker

Could this be a pre-cursor to getting Beasley???

Memphis just trade Love, Miller, Cardinal and Collins to Minnesota for Mayo, Jaric, Walker and Buckner.

Here is what the Grizz current roster would look like:

Conley/Lowry/Critt
Miller
Gay
Love/Arthur/Warrick/Cardinal
MGasol/Milicic/Collins

Will we hear about any more trades tonight?

Is there any reason to believe that a trade for Mayo is in the works to beef up a deal for Beasley almost like the three team deal you suggested?

ESPN came back on and clarified that it was clarified that it was a rumor, and NO KIDNEY PROBLEM.

That rumor probably cost him 10 spots in the draft.

I suspect adding Arthur could lead to some other roster move related to the now-crowded frontcourt, but I'm not going speculate yet on what that might be.

I've been getting ahead of myself a little too much tonight. My info on Arthur and Greene looks like it was accurate, though.

So the Grizzlies throw away a pick this year and a second-rounder next year for a guy with a kidney problem who plummeted in the draft and becomes the 4th player at his position? What a joke.

Chris, are you hearing anything about a deal of Love for Mayo (with others involved)? This may explain the lack of phone call to Love...

This would be awesome. If we get Arthur we can trade Love and someone like Marc Gasol to the Timberwolves for OJ Mayo. That would be an amazing draft if we got Mayo and Arthur without giving up Miller or Lowry. I am probably just dreaming though- it's too easy.

I'd heard just after the picks that something was in the works with Greene going out and Darrell Arthur coming in.

Just talked to Chris Vernon and he's now hearing that the Grizzlies end of the deal is Greene and a future second-rounder for Arthur. May be three teams involved (Blazers, Rockets) and other players, but that's the Grizzlies portion of the deal.

The would give the Grizzlies a bit of a logjam at the 4 with Love, Arthur, Warrick. It will interesting to see how that shakes out.

I don't understand what the hell is going on here ...

Is this true about Greene being gone and it doesn't say what the hell we get ....

Chris, do you know anything or can you find out anything about what the Chronicle is reporting?

A three way deal with Memphis, Portland, and Houston involving Green, Dorsey, and Batum?

I am very confused at this point anything you can find out would be helpful.

Greene isn't like Warrick. He is a SF that likes to shoot too many 3's. That is nothing like Warrick. Just because they went to Syracuse doesn't mean they are a like. He is extremely athletic and can light it up from deep which is what we need but he does have some attitude problems and is selfish. Good pick though. An upside type of pick.

houston chronicle is reporting the 3 way that herrington and verno both thought would happen....

i thought greene was a good value pick...but maybe arthur is too

The Greene pick has grown on me as he appears to be a perfect late 1st round pick - unrealized upside and only 20 years old - with Conley (19), Love (19), Crittendon (19), Gay (21), Lowry (22) Gasol (23), Darko (23) - that's decent youth.

Why in the hell have the Grizzlies not communicated with Kevin Love to this point?

Did an expected deal fall through? Do they just not care?

As a Grizzlies fan in Texas who has subscribed to NBA League Pass for the last three seasons, I have to say I'm cancelling my subscription if the Grizzlies keep Donte Greene. There is absolutely no way Greene fits into the Grizzlies scheme, particularly when they already have Warrick. After being thrilled by their selection of Love, I am absolutely flabbergasted by such a senseless pick.

No sure why all the complaining. I wanted Love with the 5th pick and then Greene is the high risk/high reward pick so many wanted. He was projected much higher so we might have gotten a steal. Why do people automatically compare Greene to Warrick just because they went to the same school?? Have you never seen Greene play?? Totally different player!

This is just STUPID ... We are doing nothing and we get just Greene and Love .... AWESOME !!

I seriously becoming less of a Grizzlies fan ...

Some of us appreciate you sharing what your hearing. We all know that no trade is done until it is submitted to the league.

On Greene - the Portland-Houston deal makes me think Greene could be staying. I'd heard there was a deal in the works involving Portland and Houston, but that it had Arthur ending up in Memphis. Possible miscommunication.

On Love: Essentially I heard there wasn't much consensus on the pick and there also wasn't the expected communication between the team and Love after the pick. Not sure if that communication has occured yet.

You're going 0-fer on your predictions and rumors.

Any chance the Grizz make a deal for CDR?

so we done for the night?

Ahhhh... is poor wittle Heisley on the warpath???

I bet half the room wanted Eric Gordon, and the other half wanted Love. I like Gordon a lot more. But I think we should trade Love and Marc Gasol to Minnesota for Mayo. That would be sooo sweet, so we won't do it.

It still doesn't make sense why the Grizzlies don't try to get those 2 from Portland ....

This is why Memphis is losing fans and Wallace/Heisley suck ARSE !!

I probably shouldn't have alluded to anything about Love since I'm not comfortable going into detail right now -- and it may well not turn into a problem.

I should clarify that what I'm hearing on the Love pick has more to do with internal stuff with the Grizzlies -- nothing to do with problems coming from the Love end.

Portland doesn't have enough empty roster spots to keep all the players they will draft; that is why they are trading two players for a foreigner they can stash overseas for a few years.

I don't get it ... Why aren't the Grizzlies making moves to get anyone else !!!

What's this Love issue ?

Houston would be getting 2 steals from Portland for Nothing !

Dorsey vs. Yao?

Sign me up for tickets to Rockets practice.

Word is Darrell Arthur and Dorsey are headed to Houston in exchange for Nicolas Batum.

What issues pray tell?

The idea of Dorsey and Oden going at each other in practice everyday is hilarious.

But -- Dorsey doesn't fit the profile in Portland and they don't have roster spots. I'll be surprised if he's wearing a Blazers uniform next season.

I doubt it's a big deal and haven't heard anything that would suggest a trade.

But apparently there was some weirdness, maybe from a lack of consensus on the pick. I'll try to elaborate if I can.

Please tell me that all of this reading and listening to radio about the Draft is not going to just end with Love and Greene.

Please. Because you know we won't spend our cap space.

Joey Dorsey's now on the same team as Greg Oden. Funny.

At least give us a team they are having discussions with!

all we get is "issues with the Love pick"? COME ON HERRINGTON BE MORE SPECIFIC!

Please tell me the only way Love is going anywhere is if Beasley is coming to town!!!

What are the issues with Love?

I hope to heck they do move him.

Wasted pick - Hakim Warrick 2.0. Tweener that plays the same position that our current best player plays. Played his college ball at Princeton err the 'Cuse.

Ironical.

Bill Walker
JR Giddens
CDR
Nathan Jawai
DJ White
Jamont Gordon
DeAndre Jordan

Hell, Joey Dorsey

All players that would have served the Grizz much, much better than the wasted pick.

I'm hearing Greene is being moved (to Houston or Portland) and that Darrell Arthur is ending up in Memphis.

Sketchy reports so far, but something seems to be going on.

The question of the night: What hat will Greene be wearing at the end of the night?

Do you anticipate any moves by the team tonight now that round 1 is done. Overall not a bad night. Obviously better things could have happened, but standing pat and getting Love and Greene not too bad.

I doubt it.

Okay...

Any chance the Grizz 'buy' the 26th or a couple of 2nd rd picks.

My Top 5 for the #28 still left:
