<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Griz conducted their second day of draft workouts with a combination of guards and forwards. Team executives and the coaching staff watched Kelenna Azubuike (6-5 junior guard from Kentucky), Julius Hodge (6-6 senior swingman from North Carolina State), Willie Jenkins (6-6 senior forward from Tennessee Tech) and Matt Walsh (6-7 junior forward from Florida). "They're all guards," said Tony Barone Sr., the Grizzlies' director of player personnel. "Julius has got the ability to be a (point) guard, and at his size that's impressive. Matt and Willie and (Kelenna) are all (shooting guards) usually with maybe some (small forward) in them." </div> Source The Grizzlies have been putting a lot of effort into these workouts for a team rumored to be dealing their pick. I have to imagine they are looking to grab two second picks for the 19th overall selection. Teams who currently have two picks in round 2 include ... LA Lakers GS Warriors Utah Jazz Atlanta Hawks Orlando Magic Seattle Supersonics
You're right. It looks like they've got a few options. They could stay at 19 and will look to draft a Center (or Point Guard if somone like Julius Hodge, John Gilchrist, or Dee Brown impresses them in a workout). They could also trade it for two second rounders, which I would love given the depth in the draft. That would also explain all of these second rounders that they are working out. Then there's also a hot rumor that they're drafting an international player (Petro, Ilyosova, Fernandez, Tomas, etc.) and will let them play overseas. I'm really down for anything.
I have no clue if this would even work but what if the Grizz where able to trade the Bucks for the #1 pick overall and the Grizz take Bogut with it.... I'm thinkin maybe Wells and sign and trade with swift or watson and the 19th pick overall.

If the Bucks were to shop their #1 pick, logic suggests that if they're not getting an All-Star in return then they'd at least want a top five pick. If we were to offer the Bucks any deal, I'd think it'd be something where Gasol, Williams, the #19, and a future pick were involved. I just don't see it happening though.
If they try and trade for some 2nd-round picks, trade that 1 pick for all 3 second round picks to Utah. The Utah can get a Channing Frye or Francisco Garcia with that pick.
