My best feel for the Grizzlies' current draft plans coming out of yesterday's workout session is that there are two primary options at this point: Drafting and keeping Hasheem Thabeet and drafting and trading Ricky Rubio. Any other scenario (such as taking James Harden, Tyreke Evans, or Stephen Curry at #2) is a longshot.

Thabeet and Rubio don't want any part of MEM.

With that said, "To Hell With Them".

Trade the pick to Minny for #6, #18, #45

Trade Buckner, 2010 Lakers #1, #2 to WAS for Stevenson, #5............this keeps the Wizards under the Luxury Tax.

The Draft:

#5 Tyreke Evans SG
#6 Jordan Hill PF
#18 Omri Casspi SF (May take a year, but worth the wait)
#27 Taj Gipson PF
#36 Nick Calathes PG
#45 Robert Dozier SF/PF

Our use the #1's and invest in Foreign Players.
