The Grizzlies continued to work feverishly this afternoon on numerous trade proposals that would have them move throughout the NBA draft, which is set to begin at 6:30 p.m.

At least five possible trades had fallen through but a team insider was confident another deal could be consummated if the opposing team met the Grizzlies’ requirements.

Barring a last-minute development on that front, the Grizzlies are set to keep their first-round picks at No. 5 and 28 with the decision having been made that they will select Kevin Love, Russell Westbrook or Danilo Gallinari.

For now, though, Miami, New Jersey and Charlotte are not potential trade partners.
Miami informed Memphis that it intends to keep the No. 2 pick, decreasing any chance that the Griz will move up and take Michael Beasley. Charlotte has relentlessly tried acquiring Memphis’ fifth pick. But the Griz rebuffed those offers because they don’t covet anyone on the Bobcats’ roster.

Rumors that the Griz and Nets have talked about a deal that would send the No. 5 pick to New Jersey for the No. 10 and a future first are false. The Griz and Nets had not engaged in trade discussions as of two hours before the draft.
