Hou - Mem Pick Swap
#3 / Landale / Tate / #44
for
#9 / Smart / 2025 #1st
Speculation that Memphis wants Clingan, who probably wont make it too 9.
Its unclear who Houston is targeting, but in a scenario where their guy falls, they can pick up additional assets.

Okay, value wise.... but zero interest in Smart. Hasn't been healthy and wrong side of 30. Pass.

I think you can get one of 2025 1st or smart for the swap value wise, not both. Dont think Memphis want to trade smart thouh

No one at 3 in this draft I would pay up for. The guy we would take at 3 has a very good chance of being there at 9 and if not the remaining prospects grades out around the same still. 75% of the mocks have Clingan available at nine, and he really isn't a homerun pick imo, everyone just likes him for Memphis because of our need there. That is my read on this draft.
If Memphis had 3, I would be trying to trade down to 9 and get assets too.

The Grizz don’t target Clingan. Relax. Smart alone is valued more than anything on this draft.

Wow. So you're telling me the Grizzlies wouldn't trade Smart for Sarr, even after that mediocre season he just had?

They would be in doubt for sure because they want the 2025 rings. That’s where Sarr would be way less impactful than Smart.

Re: Hou - Mem Pick Swap
way way too rich for Houston. Make it #3 + Tate for #9 + Smart and I may consider

No player in the draft outside maybe Sarr is worth trading up for. I’m fine with picking the best of who will be left.

The idea of all these players being worth more than the 1st pick, whether it is Deni or Smart or whoever is really really overplayed.

And refusing a $20 for a $10 because you want smaller bills just means you don't understand that you aren't stuck with the $20 forever.
If any team offers your team double value, you should say yes. {Then just make a new deal getting value for that $20 when the team grossly overpaying isn't looking at what else they could have had, but when overpaid that much I wouldn't try to make it a 3 teamer my team got cut out from.}

I'm not giving up that 2025 Brooklyn pick for just anybody. I don't even want Smart anyway, so I say no to this straight up but I would definitely love the opportunity to trade down from 3 to 9 and pick up some extra assets.
