Kupchak: Memphis also wanted Sun

In an interview published today on nba.com, Lakers General Manager Mitch Kupchak revealed that Sun had been part of the package that the Grizzlies were asking for in return for pf Pau Gasol. "Memphis also wanted Sun in the trade, but we wanted to keep at least one of those two guys so Memphis wanted Marc [Gasol] and we are happy that we were able to keep Sun Yue, because we liked him when we drafted him," Kupchak said. For all of you that said this deal fell into Mitch's lap, the joke's on you.
