Andy Katz: Memphis and Minnesota talked again about trading the No. 2 pick (Memphis) to Minnesota for the Nos. 5 and 6 picks or the No. 5 or 6 and Kevin Love. But the price was too high for Minnesota, so Memphis plans on keeping the pick. According to multiple sources, Memphis would pick Connecticut center Hasheem Thabeet.
• Minnesota is hoping to land a specific player at No. 18 — who could be Earl Clark (Louisville) or James Johnson (Wake Forest), among others. If that player isn’t available, then the Wolves are expected to trade the pick, according to a source.
