The Goods Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Sources confirmed to the Memphis Commercial Appeal on Friday that the Grizzlies received a number of offers for the second overall pick. Ultimately, Memphis opted to keep the pick and used it on Connecticut center Hasheem Thabeet. The Suns offered Amare Stoudemire for Rudy Gay and the second overall pick. The Celtics offered a package that included Kendrick Perkins for the No. 2 pick, and also inquired about the 36th selection. The Heat were willing to part ways with Michael Beasley, last year's second pick, for this year's No. 2 selection. The Rockets made one offer involving Tracy McGrady, and another that included Shane Battier and Carl Landry, but they wanted Gay in the deal as well. The Cavaliers offered Daniel Gibson and JJ Hickson, the Bobcats put Emeka Okafor and Nazr Mohammed on the block, the Mavericks offered Josh Howard and the Thunder made a play involving Nick Collison. http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/60124/20090627/memphis_received_many_offers_for_2nd_pick/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldChili Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 The Heat would be stupid if they gave up Michael Beasley for the 2nd pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flight Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Seems like anyone that was willing to move up and give something back wanted Gay too, although I wouldn't mind getting Meka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Tzu Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Amar'e for Gay + 2nd pick? I wouldn't have minded that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flight Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 That would have never happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
