Which is funny given that Deyonta Davis landed us the Memphis pick, which if not for this weak and Memphis hot streak should have decent value.
The pick that become Davis netted us the Clippers pick.
The Memphis pick was for Jeff Green.
Yeah it all revolves around Jeff Green. The Memphis pick was from us trading Jeff Green to Memphis. The Clippers pick was acquired for the 2 secound rounders, but the Grizzlies had that pick from trading Jeff Green to the Clippers
. That was another brilliant Doc Rivers GM move.
I think people are too worried about having too much capital. 2016 was an awful draft, but Ainge did a good job of kicking the can with those two second rounders (31+35). We still have Yabu, which hasn't been a huge benefit yet. BUT, we shed the 2 2nds for the Clippers pick and flipped our other 1st round selection in the Kyrie deal.
