ESPN.com’s Andy Katz has a strong story up about the status of the Grizzlies’ trade negotiations involving the #2 pick.
The core graph:
Memphis discussed sending the No. 2 to Minnesota for the No. 5 and No. 6, but the Timberwolves have been consistent that they don’t want to give away two top 10 picks. The TWolves also rejected the offer for No. 6 and Love. The Timberwolves offered either No. 5 or 6 and Craig Smith for the No. 2, but Memphis rejected that trade, too. The source said there was never any discussion involving Minnesota’s No. 18 pick.
Katz also reports that the Wolves are the only team the Grizzlies are in active trade discussions with for the #2 pick.
