Who says no?

#14 and the Grizzlies pick owed to the Celtics for the #2.

Do you think another pick #22 is necessary to make the deal happen?

Memphis says no, for the same reason they wouldn't trade a dollar for two quarters.

No way do the Grizz move Morant to us unless we give them Tatum and their pick at least. Morant is a legit star prospect
'23 Historical Draft: Orlando Magic.

PG: Terry Porter (90-91) / Steve Francis (00-01)
SG: Joe Dumars (92-93) / Jeff Hornacek (91-92) / Jerry Stackhouse (00-01)
SF: Brandon Roy (08-09) / Walter Davis (78-79)
PF: Terry Cummings (84-85) / Paul Millsap (15-16)
C: Chris Webber (00-01) / Ralph Sampson (83-84) / Andrew Bogut (09-10)

Memphis, easily, says no.

No matter how many picks the Celtics offer the answer will be no from the grizzlies

Would need to include brown or tatum on that deal imo.

Brown/memphis 1st/#14 might do it.

Celtics say no to this.

Morant hasn't played a minute of pro ball yet. There's no way he's worth 2 lottery picks to the Celtics or anyone else for that matter.

The future Memphis pick is worth a lot. It could be an unprotected pick in 2021.

The Celts have done thorough pre-draft preparation this year. They'll get a rotation player at #14.

Why in the world would a team - which at this point can only sell hope to its fan base - give up a shot at a superstar for middling picks?  C'mon.

Brown or Tatum gets you that pick and you may still need to throw in a sweetener if you think Morant is the next big deal.

You might be able to land Ja Rule with that package but not Ja Morant.

I don’t think any asset Boston has short of Tatum even gets a dialogue started.

What if Memphis countered with an offer like this:

BOS sends: #51 pick
MEM sends: #2 pick, three future unprotected firsts

Equally realistic scenarios...

Danny is not going to offer all of that for Morant.  Morant is not that good of a prospect.

Have to put both Tatum & Jaylen on the table to get Memphis to make Ja Morant available.
