Stoudamire is no longer willing to dance around the issue. He wants the Grizzlies to stop being soft. "After a while, there's only so much a coach can do," Stoudamire said. "The guys in this locker room have to decide when enough is going to be enough. We, as players, have to get tough. We have to help each other on defense and offense. We have to trust each other. ...When we get after it, we're not that bad." The Griz enter their home game tonight against the New Orleans Hornets having lost nine of the past 11 games. They've dropped five of six outings at home, including a demoralizing defeat at the hands of Andre Iguodala and the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Bulls would have to pay a premium, but one positive is that his contract was front-loaded, which means from the original $60 million deal, he's owed $28.5 million over the next two seasons. "Change is not always bad," Wallace said after Saturday's dismal 116-98 home loss to Houston. "If everybody wants to be here, we have to step it up." The most obvious trade targets for the Bulls are New Jersey Nets point guard Jason Kidd and Memphis Grizzlies center Pau Gasol.

Mike Conley wore a uniform for the first time in six weeks and made his official return from a shoulder injury that's kept him out since Nov. 18. Conley, who suffered a posterior labral tear in his right shoulder, entered the Grizzlies' game against the San Antonio Spurs with 8:25 left in the second period.
After 13 years of running a team on the floor and working closely on the bench with the men responsible for wins and losses, veteran point guard Damon Stoudamire has seen enough to put a finger on the Grizzlies' ragged start to the season.
Serious trade talk typically doesn't begin until January in the NBA, but logic would suggest Chicago Bulls general manager John Paxson is ready to explore ways to trade center Ben Wallace.
