The Grizzlies somehow believe they can still win 50 games next year, so maybe a rebuilding team can pick up some draft capital to have Parsons fill up some empty payroll while said team develops their youth. The Grizzlies haven't exactly made wise calls in the last few years, so they certainly could make a hasty decision.
I Like Noah and #2 round pick for Chandler Parsons and #4??????
There is no chance the Grizzlies would trade 4 and Parsons for 9, 36 and Noah.
They will either want to structure a trade down and get Parsons contract off the books (e.g. Chicago sends 7 and 22 for Parsons and 4), or alternatively they'll try and trade down and perhaps get a veteran to help them (e.g. our deal would need to be centered around 9, 36 and Hardaway for Parsons and 4).
Would I do that type of deal? Of course I'd send Hardaway and our two picks to move up to 4, but I'm not sure the Grizzlies will trade out of the spot they're in.
