  The Memphis Grizzlies, on the brink of strengthening themselves for a deep run into the Western Conference playoffs, are working to finalize a three-team deal to acquire Boston Celtics forward Jeff Green, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
  
  Memphis, Boston and New Orleans are in the advanced stages of a deal framework that would send the Grizzlies' Tayshaun Prince, New Orleans' John Salmons and a future Memphis first-round pick to the Celtics, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
  
  New Orleans would send forward Quincy Pondexter to the Pelicans in the proposed deal, sources said.
  
  Boston and Memphis believe they can complete the Green trade without New Orleans, but the Grizzlies want to move Pondexter before Green and his $9.2 million salary joins Memphis, sources said. Memphis is still discussing other deals for Pondexter around the NBA, but the focus on Friday night had been completing the trade with New Orleans, sources told Yahoo.
  
  Green gives the Grizzlies a versatile veteran who can score and defend both forward positions. He is averaging 17.6 points and 4.2 rebounds this season. Green makes $9.2 million this season, and holds a player option of $9.2 million in 2015-16 – the final year of his contract.
  
  The Celtics are unloading assets – they traded forward Brandan Wright to the Phoenix Suns for a future first-round draft pick earlier Friday – and gathering assets for a rebuild. With this trade, Boston will have accumulated 11 first-round picks over the next four drafts.
  
  Prince's contract expires at the end of this season, freeing additional salary-cap room for the Celtics. He is averaging 7.4 points and 3.2 rebounds in 25 games this season.

Grizzlies gotta do something quick. The bottom is falling out and we haven't even hit the allstar break.

It's a shame they put so much value in leuer and qpon... if they would have just paid James Johnson we would be fine.

And it's time to send C.Lee back to his 6th man spot till his jumper comes back.

Calathes stepped up, Beno can get 10-12 off the bench, Carter can shoot the lights out when hes hot, Koufos is a good defender.

 

[triplehate]

It's all about which playoff matchup we get the tinkering during the season doesn't matter much to me

 

[Keengcong]

Calathes stepped up, Beno can get 10-12 off the bench, Carter can shoot the lights out when hes hot, Koufos is a good defender.

Calathes and Beno make us too small/weak playing at the same time. Carter is a old ticking time bomb you gotta be ready for him to break down. Koufos is a good defender but he is gonna walk in the offseason. If we can get young athletic guys with a few years locked in a contract it puts us in a good position to keep this thing rolling for a few years.
