Grizzlies Send:
Wes Matthews
Lakers 85 1st
Knicks 85 1st
Pacers Send:
Meriweather
Bradley
2 Vet FA
Also gave Sonics a heads up and he was ok with me doing this deal because likely the pick he receives will be either my own pick or the T-wolves pick.
I'll cut Jamie Mccoy and Ken Austin for the trade to work. Sign Jim Chones/John Mengelt

Pacers had no first in this upcoming draft (They also are shipping out their '86) so they absorb salary for 2 firsts which makes sense with their aging squad and getting cheap pieces for depth makes sense.
Grizzlies desperately wanted out of the contract so they did what had to be done
Done

Looking back, thought Wes Matthews would be a decent potential pickup at age 24 but he's a turnover machine and a true tank commander. Lesson learned
I have Pacers 86 1st so let's hope Wes Matthews does his magic there

^ Matthews has regressed since he was 21. At the time, the league was very thin on PG and he was averaging like 15/6 and young and looked to be a B- B+ B+ PG.
He did not turn out that way lol

Yeah, I think when I took a shot at him he was on the decline but I was hoping he'd make a comeback haha. And yup, did not turn out that way
