Grizzlies Looking To Add 'Offensive Firepower'

Jan 05, 2010 3:47 PM EST
The Grizzlies are looking to improve their depth and have a host of draft picks to use as bait.

Memphis won't add a player whose contract extends beyond this season as they look to preserve cap space, but they are looking to bolster their second unit's offense.

"We would like to add to our offensive firepower off the bench but we want to do so on our terms," general manager Chris Wallace said. "We don't want to complicate our long-term team salary obligations and potentially detract from our ability to sign Rudy Gay."

The Grizzlies inquired about Portland's Travis Outlaw earlier in the season and nearly acquired Nate Robinson from the Knicks before the guard vetoed the deal last week.

Memphis can jump over the .500 mark with a victory over Portland on Tuesday night.

Probably not a lottery pick though.

lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

I like it, LH for a protected first rounder works for me. I hope this is true and Donnie can make something positive happen for us in the first round.

forget about any Hughes trades w/MEM... they don't have enough cap space to absorb his $14 million dollar salary & they don't have enough expirings to match the dollars for Donnie to make the deal... the only likely deal involving Hughes would be to HOU for T-Mac at this point IMHO

because it's a one year deal but he still has bird rights - he'd have to waive his bird rights to accept a trade, therefore he has veto rights over any trade.

for the record, i think it would have been a good trade if we could have gotten an early 20s first round pick and marcus williams for nate. that's pretty good value.

Nate is gone after this season anyway. I hope we can get a pick for him.
