"Memphis has interest in Wayne Ellington, Wesley Johnson or Martell Webster – each of whom have reportedly been made available.

Ellington likely is the Grizzlies' main target because of his salary. The 6-4 guard will earn a little more than $2 million this season. Johnson will make $4.2 million and Webster’s deal is for $5.7 million."

If Batum isn't matched by the Blazers then Minnesota and Memphis would be over the cap. Minnesota wants Stiemsma, Memphis wants on off those guard and we want Mayo.

Webster was just bought out, so they're free to acquire him if they'd like.

Minnesota also has interest in Mayo - my guess would be a sign and trade sending Mayo to Minny, one of those 3 guys + a trade exception to Memphis. They can offer Greg more than we since they're under cap, so really they don't need us for anything.

If Minny gets Batum they won't have cap space.

Portland has pretty much said they're going to match on Batum.
