Not saying that we couldn?t have made a trade to move up, but to say it?s a sure thing is a little ridiculous. Who says Memphis would have traded with us to move down a spot?

Its also a little ridiculous to assume that SOMEONE at the end of the first round wouldn't take two high second round picks

I just don?t think you can come out and say we could have had both players when it requires a trade with another team.

Would another team have traded a late first for 2 high 2nds? Probably. It doesn?t matter now. There were 3 guys available who would have been difference makers, and the FO picked another guy who looks like a fringe NBA player.

I think Memphis leapfrogged us for Bane. They traded one pick in front of us. Could be that the other team called us and we called their bluff. And lost. Or they had Bane and TT and other guys still in the board in the same tier and were content taking whoever was left.
