    Let me guess...

    It's either Rudy Gay for Vujacic, DJ Mbenga and Adam Morrison Or It's O.J Mayo for Sasha Vujacic, DJ Mbenga and Adam Morrison

    I wonder if they plan on commiting 12 million to Gay over the summer. If not they may look to move him.

    It could be something smaller like Blake for Hunter. Blazers need a big and the Grizzlies have four 7-footers on their team.

    Seems plausible. Portland also have issues with their point guard rotation. Bayless is ready to take over as a starter.

    Uh . . . unless that 2nd round pick is of the "hypothetical" variety, then no.

    Any trade of Brian Cook would involve cash and/or picks from the Rockets as well, all in exchange for some hypothetical future 2nd rounder that they'll never actually receive.

    (Example: Last season, the Rockets traded Steve Francis, cash, and Memphis's own second rounder back to them [which was a high second round pick], all in exchange for a "hypothetical" second rounder from Memphis. The pick was top-55 protected and could only be achieved in the 2011 draft. If Memphis does not have ITS OWN pick in the bottom five picks of the draft (meaning that the Grizzlies would have won 55+ games), then the obligation is extinguished. This amounts to getting NOTHING in return for Steve Francis, cash and a high second rounder.)
