There is belief around the league that injured Memphis Grizzlies forward Rudy Gay could be had in the right deal. Gay, 25, has about $68 million left on his contract for the next four years. The Grizzlies have already given Zach Randolph a monster $71 million extension this spring and Marc Gasol's expiring contract is up next.

Do the Grizzlies have enough money for Randolph, Gasol, Mike Conley's five-year, $45 million extension that begins next season and Gay, too? Perhaps, but they played awfully well during the postseason without him.

Gay averaged 19.8 points and 6.2 rebounds in a season that ended in mid-February to a shoulder injury. He is one of the league's most explosive scorers and just entering the prime of his career, so he won't come cheap.

Would love to see the c's go after gay if he is available, although I am not sure we could put together a fair package without offering Rondo.

Anyone have any ideas of what we could offer ?

How about jeff green, Bradley and the clippers 2012 pick ?

This is a guy I just can't get excited about. I just can't.  I don't think he's as good as Loul Deng.  I don't see how we could expect to competitive against a Lebron with this guy as a top 3 player on the team and he makes way too much money for that

well we have exp contracts & picks which is all they can really want givine thier roster is basically set & built around gasol,z-bo & conley

but the think is he JUST got his contract & even tho he is a great talent it'll harp are cap in the summer of 2012 which i dont see danny taking on with dwight howard being a FA only

i'd say OJ mayo is more likely for danny to go after

this summer i expect anny to go after MLE free agents like s.dalemburt or trading for a big like jason thompson

I'm not sure anymore that saving our cap space for next summer is worth it, I don't think Dwight will hit free agency, the magic will trade him before that happens.

I like Rudy Gay as a player, but trading Green in a deal for him would kill our chances for Chris Paul.

Exactly. The entire point is to find a superstar. Everything else is secondary. Like Gay, who is a nice player but overpaid and no better than a third or fourth best guy on a title team.

Pierce + Clips pick for Gay would be perfect

Too much cash on Rudy's deal for my tastes.

Trading for Rudy Gay is about as good a move as Otis Smith trading for Gilbert Arenas.

yikes. Pierce is still better than Gay even at his advanced age...

I like Gay, but you can't give up Pierce to get him.
