Montae Ellis for OJ Mayo? That makes no sense at all.

the benefit of the doubt right now. After how the Randolph and Gasol **** has worked out, their trades seem to pan out.

Let's leave draft picks out of this discussion.

Monta Ellis is just the 1st scoring option on his team.. Mayo is bigger, guards better, and he's not the primary or the secondary scorer for Memphis.

Especially if you consider how much they are getting paid. Give me OJ all day everyday over Ellis. It would be a dumb *** trade for the Grizzlies. Getting Ellis would pretty much assure them not being able to resign Gay. I will take OJ/Rudy over Ellis

Ellis is in the 2nd year of a 6 year $66 million contract. OJ is still in his rookie contract. Picking up Ellis means losing Rudy, plus this will eliminate the chance of bringing on depth.

I welcome the Conley trade rumors. Hopefully they'll make a package deal to ship him out with Thebust.

it was a dubmass statement. I couldn't give two ***** where OJ is from butwhy the 17 would an organization make a trade for that reason. I did not see why GS would want to make that trade and it looks like they didn't.</p>

I like the idea of moving OJ to the point. At one point he wanted to move to the point. I'm sure that still stands.

is who I want but that isn't ever going to happen, I wouldn't mind putting OJ at the point if he wants to play there. However, that would just shift the hole in the grizz starting 5 from the 2 to the 1, not sure there is anyone on the bench or who we could trade Mike for that would be able to contribute like OJ has at the 2.

Best option is to try and get some bench help by trading a pick and some scrubs or Mike then look to draft Mike's replacement at the end of the year.

i think they are complementary players who, in orderfor their team to win big,need to be paired with a star, i.e. mo williams. the grizz simply don't have that player. ellis is a young all-star who could develop into that type player.

Memphis will lose one of the big 4. Which player is the most expendable? I think you have to keep Gasol and Randolph together. It comes down to Rudy and Mayo. OJ is my choice to keep.

Also, it looks like the trade rumors were just that now. Unless something happens in the next 3 minutes the Griz did absolutely nothing to improve the bench or starting lineup.

a dominating PF which the grizz have now in Zbo, they also have a legit big man in Gasol. They just lack an NBA PG and alittle bit of depth. I do hope they keep Gay b/c he will continue to contribute, also I think Mayo will continue to get better, the key is at the point. </p>

and a legit big man in gasol.

Between Mayo and Gay, I'd keep Mayo too. I'm just not a big Gay guy.

remember he is in a contract year, so his performance next year and the following year may not be indicative of future performance. I think he tests the waters but ends up back in Memphis, they already made an offer a couple of months ago and the grizz can match any offer presented to him, he is restricted.

Ronnie Brewer for 2011 1st round pick. Is he worth that?

<span class="dateline"></span></p>
<span class="dateline">New Orleans »</span> In a deal completed five minutes before the NBA's 1 p.m. MDT trade deadline, the Jazz sent Ronnie Brewer to Memphis for a protected future first-round draft pick, general manager Kevin O'Connor said. </p>

The Jazz's starting shooting guard for the past three seasons, Brewer first was linked to Memphis in trade talk last month. The pick the Jazz will receive belongs to the Grizzlies and first can be conveyed beginning in 2011. </p>

By trading Brewer, the Jazz will ease their logjam of wing players, freeing minutes for Wesley Matthews, C.J. Miles and Kyle Korver. The Jazz also will ease their luxury-tax burden, with the Grizzlies having the cap space to absorb Brewer's $2.7 million salary. </p>

"We had three or four players that were competing for minutes and we were able to turn that into a future asset," O'Connor said. </p>

The Jazz also will be able to avoid having to go through restricted free agency with Brewer this summer, having done so the last two summers with Miles and Paul Millsap. The Jazz will have to sign a 13th player to meet the NBA's roster minimum. </p>

O'Connor said it was not easy to part with a player in Brewer when the Jazz have won 15 of 17 games and climbed within a game of second place in the Western Conference.</p>

I like the deal forBrewer. At least we didn't lose anyone and the pick isn't from this summer. We have additional help on the bench at the 2/3.The Fab-4 is still intact.

it helps immediately, "maybe next season" has turned into "this season" for the grizz. Will be interesting to watch them down the stretch.

I'd like to see how this would play out:
1 Mayo
2 Brewer
3 Gay
4 Zbo
5 Marc

I was thinking they bring Brewer off the bench to sub for Mayo/Gay. Either way, we should be better off than before. Mayo at PG sounds interesting though.

but at some point i hope to see these guys play together, grizz front office has been talking about brewer for awhile so this could be a move with long term ramifications, more than just a trade to help with depth.

I think at first he comes in like you suggest.

Ron Higgins is saying Brewer can fin in at the 1-3 positions. I can't believe the minutes the starting 5 put in last night. Each one had over 40 minutes. Hopefully he's what we need, but his shooting %'s this year look pretty bad.
