Memphis has reached a deal with Orlando to acquire the 35th pick in the draft, tweets Adrian Wojnarowki of The Vertical. In return, the Magic will receive Brooklyn’s second-rounder in 2019, according to Jake Fischer of Sports Illustrated (Twitter link).
It would have been the third pick of the night for Orlando, which already took Florida State’s Jonathan Isaac at No. 6 and owns Toronto’s selection at No. 25.
The Grizzlies came into tonight with no picks. Their first-rounder was sent to Cleveland in a 2013 deal and then went to Denver, Portland and Sacramento, which wound up with Harry Giles at No. 20. The Nuggets own Memphis’ second-rounder at No. 49.
Memphis got the better end of this one. Should’ve had to kick in some cash or a stashed guy even if he wasn’t likely to come over at least. It’s a high 2nd rounder still some good choices there usually.
Also Magic Traded 25 pick 76ers.
