According to Matt Moore of CBS Sports, the Memphis Grizzlies and Los Angeles Lakers could possibly be in talks of bringing the elder Gasol back to where he started his career, maybe even to play alongside his "little" brother.
Moore speculates at a possible Gasol for Rudy Gay swap, but I’d rule that highly unlikely.
According to Sporting News, Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley has no intention of trading Rudy Gay.
“We’re not looking to trade Rudy Gay. We’re not shopping him around. Period,” Heisley said.
Well, then.
A trade involving Gay at this juncture certainly seems farfetched after that sentiment from Heisley. However, the Grizzlies could conceivably trade Zach Randolph and a draft pick in exchange for Gasol. Moreover, the Grizz could even send Z-Bo plus a sign-and-trade of O.J. Mayo to give the Lakers a scoring spark off the bench (something they’ve been lacking).
You’ve got to love trade speculation!
