Cool Grizzlys Rumor Continue To Swirl

The latest buzz created by a New York report is that the Boston Celtics have offered everyone on their roster in an attempt to acquire Pau Gasol... Well-placed league insiders say the Grizzlies could do a deal that would send Mike Miller to the Los Angeles Clippers for Corey Maggette.

Default Gasol for grabs

What about Gasol for Jefferson, Ratliff, 2007 1st round pick and a future protected 1st round pick?

Yes, anyway I don't think Gasol wants to be traded to Boston... The Celtics are not what I call a "contender" ...where he would like to play

Boston is more of a "contender" than MEmphis, and are in a better market that can grow and expand.
gasol is a top tre center.

Memphis needs to get their marbles straight

Paxson neither confirmed nor denied interest in Memphis Grizzliesstar forward Pau Gasol, who's been mentioned prominently in traderumors.

According to a league source, the Bulls offered apackage that includes guard Ben Gordon, forward P.J. Brown and a firstround draft pick in return for Gasol, who has requested a trade. Thesource also said Brown would be included in any trade made before thedeadline.

As it has been since the start of the season, an established inside scorer remains atop the Bulls' wish list.

Paxson conceded it would be difficult to part with Gordon and forward Luol Deng in partciular at this time.

The emergence of Deng and Gordon as consistent scorers has been the most positive story line of the season thus far.

"Theyhave more value today than when the season started," Paxson said."Everybody in this league would love to have Lu Deng and Ben Gordon.I'm glad we have them."

Next year a HEALTHY Celtic team, along w/ the progression of the youngsters.....assuming they get 1 of the 3 ( Gasol, Oden, Durant ) They should be contenders in the East

Hey grizzule!

Boston is a better franchise than Memphis in my opin, and has a brighter upside.

They also have more fan support and a better legacy and the east is way easier to win in than the west so boston could easily be contenders next season.

Laugh at me now...because Boston is on a 15 game losing strak, but you will see. Gasol also expressed interest.

Ok Boston has more NBA history than Memphis, but... does Gasol want to be in a team under construction? this year's season is lost, and he wants a team to be a lock in playoffs! Chicago from my point of view is the one thar has all Memphis wants: 2007 lottery picks (knicks), expiring contracts (Brown, Sweetney...) and rising stars such as Deng and Gordon.

Maybe Brown, Allen and Deng shoud be enough for Gasol or maybe Brown, Allen, Sweetney + Knicks 2007 pick. Salaries match in both options!

Anyway I understand Boston is a them where everybody would like to play because of his history.

pau gasol will probably go to chicago. he will be a good fit.there lineup will be insane. when the bulls faced the suns brown and nocioni didnt play. that could mean that the trade with gasol could be happening very soon. gasol is not going to want to go to the celtics just because there either getting durant, or oden.
