Man I hope thats what happens on the SI.com mock draft but I just don't see that happening I don't think Minn will pass up on Mayo but man would that be sweet then we could possibly trade up for Beasley and if not still have a great star in Mayo. However even ending up with K Love is still a good pick at number 5 he'll be a solid NBA guy for years to come.
"For weeks we've been hearing that the Grizzlies are high on UCLA's Kevin Love. He fits a need, is one of the more NBA-ready players in the draft and would be popular in Memphis.
He still could be the pick. But there's a growing chorus saying that the Grizzlies are looking strongly at Indiana's Eric Gordon -- an athletic, sweet-shooting 2 guard -- with the pick.
Even stronger are rumors that the Grizzlies are talking to a number of teams, including the Knicks, Blazers and Suns, about deals that would send the No. 5 pick to whomever is willing to take Brian Cardinal's awful contract (2 years, $13 million left). The latest buzz has the Knicks talking to Memphis about a deal that would send David Lee and the expiring contract of Malik Rose to Memphis for No. 5 and Cardinal.
In other words, it sounds like GM Chris Wallace is, once again, being pushed by ownership to cut payroll."
That is ESPN.com's Chad Ford's explanation of our pick in his newest mock draft. He has us getting Eric Gordon. I am all for getting Gordon if we don't trade up for Beasley or Mayo. In fact, I would prefer him over anyone else. But I'm not sure about the New York trade. If we get the 6th pick in return, then I would do it in a second. If we don't, I would not do the trade in ten million years and we need to fire Wallace and kill Heisley. I'm tired of Heisley wanting to cut costs so he can sell the team. It's not fair to the fans or the team.
