Trade! Grizzlies sending Speights, Selby and pick to Cavs for Lauer

[SilkkTheShocker]

Wayne Ellington might also be included


(edit: already been confirmed by AirTupac)

[Haymaker]

They're gonna miss Ellington.

[iDunk]

Wow so Memphis pretty much traded their whole bench for nothing. I hope Selby gets time in Cleveland.

[rufuspaul]

Good move especially since Sideshow Bob is out for the season.

[InspiredLebowski]

Memphis doesn't even have a full roster now, there's gotta be another guy coming, or another deal. I know they needed to get under the tax but they had to throw in a 1st? That's dumb.

Wow they are gonna miss Ellington and his shooting. This team needs more shooters with a slasher like Gay, and the Gasol/ZBo frontline, esp since Conley and TAllen arent great shooters.

Aside from that its a solid move. Arthur can fill Speights minutes and this allows them to keep Gay/ZBo (at least for the time being)

Rudy Gay to the Bobcats for anybody they want?

S.hitty franchises can only pretend to care about winning for so long. Memphis is who we thought they were!! (Denny Green voice)

Don't want him on the Bobcats to be honest

Believe it or not, it's 1 st round pick in 2015.

Meth-phis Tenn. just took it up the a.ss

[Chapallaz]

More minutes for Arthur, who's one of the best back up big men in the league actually.

It's being reported out of Memphis that the Grizzlies are signing Bill Walker, Delonte West and Sasah Vujacic. It still keeps the Grizzlies under the tax line.


EDIT:@FlyerGrizBlog: Am told a Vujacic signing, if it happened, wouldn't be anytime soon. He's currently under contract in Turkey.

[Meticode]

The pick is now a future first round draft pick.

D-West is a very good pick up. I wish the cavs would pick him back up they need a SG like him.


Good move for both teams. Grizz didn't take it up the ass, they are getting a trade exception on top of luer and needed to get under the cap. Gilbert has deep pockets and cavs want more picks. Works well for both parties.
