T'Wolves send OJ Mayo & more to Grizzlies for Kevin Love, Mike Miller & more

[statman32]

2006 first round PG Kyle Lowry
2007 first round PG Mike Conley
2007 first round PG/SG Javaris Crittendon
2008 first round PG/SG OJ Mayo

3yrs $22mil or so Marko Jaric


Like tell me what I'm missing/not getting. Because the guards in Memphis makes no sense. There has to be a trade brewing here.

Lowry has been rumored to be gone for awhile. I think Conley/Mayo is a nice backcourt. Only reason they traded for Marko Jaric is so that the fans would have some eye candy in the stands. (his wife not him)

Minnesota wins the trade but its not HORRIBLE for Memphis especially when you compare it with the Gasol trade.

Plus losing Mike Miller, the only player who could provide consistent perimeter shooting after losing Navarro.

Probably no trade brewing, it just happens that Chris Wallace keeps succeeding in an evil plan to completely demolish the Grizzlies.

Conley, Mayo, Crittenton?

Love would have been perfect for that team.


SG-Miller
PG-Conley
SF-Gay
PF-Love
C-Milicic

That starting lineup would have been pretty good, plus the potential combination every play of Gay to Love every play would have been priceless.

I don't think FireMcFail gives a damn about Minnesota's trading.

He just uses this as another opportunity to bash McHale.

Minnesota did something smart and you BASH HIM??

You're worse than HotlantaDude81, and thank god Atlanta had no picks- he would have been complained about everything.

[Roy Munson]

WHy people sleep on Mike Miller is beyond me.

Because he's been a steady player on a horrible team.

[Skywalker]

Foye, McCants, Miller, Love, Jefferson should be a sick offense next year. With Brewer, Telfair, Smith, Gomes off the bench. I dotn mind this trade as long as this doesnt happen : OJ a star and Love a bust.

Go to page 20 in the official NBA draft thread. I was so happy we drafted Mayo.

[DuMa]

i dont know about this trade. i knew Love was gonna end up in Minny somehow. Mchale just likes the kid and loves what he sees in him. but giving up mayo was too much imho.

This team never gets anything to go their way. ****in ugh

[shaoyut]

dam mayo in the grizzlies

[baseketball4life]

Conley
Mayo
Gay
Warrick
Darko


Mayo+Gay is going to be deadly



if this was just Love+trash for Mayo than the Grizz would have ripped them, but since Mike Miller is in it, it was close to fair

Has this seriously not been the most puzzling day of trades and draft picks in the history of the draft? I thought both teams were better off as is.

[El Kabong]

Do the Griz plan to keep Mayo? Or did they just get him to try and bait Miami into trading them Beasly?

[knickballer]

Good Trade for the Grizzlies. Kevin Love is a small, Fat PF. Marc Gasol is better than Love thats why this trade went down they feel Gasol is better than love. Mayo is arguably the best player in this draft and has Kobe potential.

Conley/Lowry/Crit
Mayo/Lowry/Buckner
Gay/Warrick
Darko/Warrick
Gasol/Darko

IF Darko can figure it out not a bad team. Conley is a true PG and he should be sick, Mayo next Kobe, Gay is the next T-mac, If Marc Gasol can be anything like his brother Pau than thats a sick young team.
