Re: Draftees to Visit Grizzlies
What do you make of the lack of players coming in to work out. Is it a foregone conclusion that the pick will be traded?

They've always had trouble getting players in. They aren't going to get Ayton or Bagley in because they think they're going top-3. I don't think they're interested in JJJ. They aren't going to get Bamba and Young in because they play Conley and Gasol's positions. They've had Carter, Knox, and I believe Sexton in.
A trade is definitely a possibility, though I don't buy the hype. Every year the media hypes a crazy, trade-heavy draft but they rarely come to fruition. In fact, the last time a team traded out of the top-5 was 2009, and picks weren't at as great of a premium then.
If Doncic or Bagley is on the board at four, I am almost positive we will pick and keep whichever one is there. If neither is there, then a trade becomes much more realistic.

This.
If we do trade it will likely be to trade down a few spots or get a young stud (Ex: Bradley Beal). Anything could happen with our FO though.

I would not mind getting a Bradley Beal type of player or perhaps Otto Porter if possible.
