    Not that I heard of... seems like it’s the first year they haven’t held one... must be a sign they are trading out of draft??

    I think it's a sign that Neil is standing pat and not changing the roster one bit.....what do you think?

    I have to say, the draft is always one of my favorite sports days. But, I'm not really feeling the excitement this year. Maybe Neil will surprise me.

    Definitely hoping for a draft day trade that brings an experienced player or two over. I can't imagine us keeping the 24th pick. I could see Neil picking up a second round pick for a project player though.

    They were one of the teams that worked out Simons twice. But I don’t think this is about that, because they would’ve waited until tomorrow if it was. They’re probably looking to move up.

    He can't have done much scouting. No way they keep all their remaining 4 picks. Just weird timing from LA's perspective though. Why do this before knowing the guy they're targeting is actually available?

    My guess is they’re looking to package it with 25 to move up.

    Maybe to trade. No way they eat into their capspace with a higher rookie scale.

    Not much of a difference for what they can get with 25+39.

    But it could be enough to get ahead of Chicago and draft Hutchison.

    The only way I trade the number 4 if I am Memphis is if I get rid of parsons, get a good cheap young player in return AND get their next years 1 round draft pick with no restrictions.
