@WojYahooNBA: There have been scenarios today that include third teams, and also where Grizzlies and Raptors could do deal straight up, sources tell Y!
@WojYahooNBA: Raptors and Grizzlies are discussing framework of trade with respective ownership groups now, sources tell Y! Deal could be done tonight.

I have a feeling 'what' will approve what ever the grizzlies do. I'm thinking something like this will be the final deal.
Would be a pretty bad move when 'what' told us that a package featuring Bradley Beal was on the table.
@WojYahooNBA: Memphis could still have a third team scenario to send on Calderon and take back players, but immediately unclear.

Memphis already said there was no way they would be giving up Ross. I wouldn't either for Gay. Plus they're insisting on getting rid of Calderon so I don't think that trade comes even close.
Yeah, sounds like there are a few different scenarios in play. Even though there is talk about Memphis needing cap relief, I'm not convinced they'd give up someone like Gasol as suggested by other posters.
Yeah, Gasol and Conley were the two players that the new ownership invited to go have dinner with. Pretty safe to say those are their two cornerstones that they're looking to keep around.
