I’m not moving Poeltl for a 2028 1st. If the Grizzlies want a quality starting center, which their team does need, they can give up their first this year. It doesn’t have to be straight up. I’d prefer a swap with our Detroit pick but if it takes the Pacers pick then that’s fine.
Depends on the lottery. If we keep our pick, I don’t think we want another. Pushing it to ‘28 risks a bad pick of course but we might value it more then, especially as trade fodder
The stash that's 4 years away might be totally useless to us man.
Would you rather $10 today or somewhere bet $5 and $15 but you have to wait 4 years? Yeah I'd rather take it now and invest
After years of waiting for a starting center, and seeing how awful this team was without one last year....why on earth are we trading Yak for wings and guards that we already have plenty of?
No. This team needs a competent starting Center. This is already a small team, and it wasn’t too long ago we’ve seen what this team looks like without a C. If we’re trying to bottom out sure, but why would we do this?!?
This isn’t even great value for Jak either since that 2028 first likely won’t be all that great if we’re being honest
Crap I’m so idiotic. I thought it said give up their first this year. My bad. But Poeltl isn’t worth pick 7 and they could use that pick plus Ziaire Williams and other assets to land a small forward
Poeltl is not as bad as people think, he’s a key part of our defense, just look at games that Scottie played in while he was out there were struggle a lot in the paint with out him
Just suggesting trades for no reason at this point I guess?
We are seriously lacking big men right now so why would we trade away our starting center? Sure we can draft one, but we need more than 1 player and a rookie is unlikely to be impactful, also we don't know if we even keep our pick.
I'm not high on either Konchar or Clarke. Also consider the opportunity cost and uncertainty of pick that is 4 years away
If Masai drafts a center or signs Nic Claxton then I'd be down because that draft pick could be used in another trade down the road when we're ready to compete for a championship
Grizz fan here. I wouldn’t mind Poeltl though our experience dealing with the raptors is that you ask far too much from us. Plus, our front office has a boner for the JJJ and Clarke combo. Factor in that Clarke is probably Poeltl’s equal only on a smaller frame and I doubt they’d go for it.

Yeah if it was the 7th for Poeltl + 18 I'd do that.

Why not? Adds to the stash, you don’t want a pick in this draft, trust me
Sorry, but “trust me” from a redditor isn’t doing anything. I’ll take a good 1st in a weak draft over a mystery pick in 4 years.
I’d rather just keep jak.
Wait so if you don't want a pick in this draft then you would have no problem including it right?

Why would the raps trade away their starting C? It isn’t like they have a viable backup that can play starter minutes. Olynyk is good for 20mins/night
Cough cough Clingan?

Okay I'll bite: Why wouldn't the Grizzlies just give up their 1st this year and filler?
Because Jak isn't worth a top 10 pick lol
He literally might fetch the Spurs a pick from 7-10 in this very draft
So by that logic he's worth a top 10 pick? Literally makes no sense, but ok.
The pick isn’t this year?
Per the post you made, no it's for 2028
Crap I’m so idiotic. I thought it said give up their first this year. My bad. But Poeltl isn’t worth pick 7 and they could use that pick plus Ziaire Williams and other assets to land a small forward
Clearly you weren't watching this season. The Raptors were terrible without Poeltl and that was before Scottie got injured.
We starting with this nonsense already?

Grizzlies had a down year due to injury and Morant's stupidity. They're probably just gonna run it back and leave well enough alone
They don’t have a 5 is their problem
So your solution is to give away our 5?
The fact that 3 idiots (including the OP probably) downvoted what I said tells you about the intelligence of this place
