You think they tried? I don't. They havn't done anything but sit on their hands since being here. Would Memphis have turned down Evan, Simmons, #6 and the OKC pick for Parsons and #4? If they did I woulda added on a protected 19 pick. No way they turn that down when you also consider there's a good chance they still get JJJ at 6. What's more likely a FO that has done nothing but sit on their hands got ballsy and made a move like this and it was turned down? Or they were smacking high fives when they relised the long armed player was gonna be available?

That's just analytics. Overwhelmingly if you are certain measurables you are by far more likely to become a good NBA player. If I was a GM that's what I would do. Analytics is why I liked JJJ number 1 this year and WCJ 2. I wouldn't have picked Young in the top 10 and so far that looks about right.
