    The Grizzlies also are still shopping their pick and one potential trade may persuade them to part with it. A source in Memphis says the Rockets have offered Shane Battier and Aaron Brooks for No. 2. The Grizzlies could send them the dreaded Marko Jaric contract back and save some face in the draft if they did it. Who are the Rockets after? That is the question ...

    So much for the guy that said Battier was untouchable this off-season.

    I do not like this deal personally. I want Rubio, but he better be REALLY good to make this movie.

    If we do this deal we can still get Stat. Maybe Lowry instead of Brooks.

    This has been posted in the stickied thread.

    IBTL.

    And Memphis needs to add in a scrub, preferably a 5.

    I would be very dissapointed with this trade.
    Either make that Amare trade or sit tight.

    I thought one of our biggest strengths that set us apart from our playoff teams was our ability to throw Artest and Battier at the other team's star wingman.

    Now we're sacrificing that to go for Rubio? Or what exactly? I'm confused by all these rumors.

    Ugh, trading Brooks for an unknown. I'm not saying that Brooks is untouchable, and I'm not necessarily buying into him developing into a solid point guard, but what if Rubio is a bust, then we're screwed.

    Obviously we're after Rubio.

    Jaric is a better player than he's given credit for.

    Shane has been sliding a bit but he's a good floor leader.

    Actually a good value trade. It's fair.

    Memphis would have to trade away a PG in a secondary deal.

    Posted in the draft thread, but my two cents are the deal is definitely not worth it.

    Mods: please don't lock this one. i think this is pretty important, given that there are two separate reports.

    Morey is very high on Rubio, so I could see this happening.

    Don't want it, though.
