Grizzlies Claim No Deal In The Works

The Grizzlies claim that no trade is evident even though they have admitted having discussions with the Blazers recently.

Yahoo! Sports is reporting that the deal is essentially Mike Conley Jr. for Travis Outlaw.

A team source out of Memphis claims that talks will be ongoing, but the team isn't likely to make any moves before February.

Parker Returns, Spurs Remain Hot

Tony Parker returned to the Spurs on Friday night against the Grizzlies in a reserve role after missing nine games with a sprained ankle.

Parker had 15 points and seven assists as San Antonio cruised to a 109-88 win over Memphis.

"His rhythm looked good," Spurs' Coach Gregg Popovich said of Parker. "He's back."

Conley Reunited With Oden?

Could Mike Conley Jr. be once again setting up passes to big man Greg Oden?

According to a report by Yahoo! sports, the Portland Trail Blazers and Memphis Grizzlies are in discussions which could see Conley headed to the Blazers in exchange for Travis Outlaw.

The talks have been ongoing for weeks, but one source close to the Blazers said Portland GM Kevin Pritchard remains hesitant about completing the deal and that a trade doesn’t appear imminent.

Even though the salaries match, it is unlikely that the deal would be straight up, with possibly Hakim Warrick and Javaris Crittenton being included from Memphis, and Sergio Rodriguez from Portland.

The Blazers have been active on several trade fronts, including discussions earlier this season with the Atlanta Hawks that would’ve included a package for point guard Mike Bibby. Those talks died when the Hawks started the season with five straight victories.
