And well, do you think the Grizzlies might be interested in the high pick Cleveland would be able to offer? If we don't offer OG and the Cavs offer that in whatever package, where do you think they trade him? Lord knows the Cavs have enough contracts to figure out different options for money matching. There are definitely teams like Boston and Milwaukee who could use the upgrade. Boston would struggle to match money but have extra picks. Milwaukee might build an offer around Parker, and can include Brogdon and possibly Maker as well. Don't know if Portland would have interest, but Nurkic and a 1st could be a solid foundation of an offer. The Wizards might be an option if they are willing to give up Oubre and a 1st. They could basically try to build the offer around either Gortat or Mahinmi and trade the other in a separate deal or as part of a 3-team deal.
And all of this ignores that really, the Grizzlies still have no incentive to trade Gasol if they don't have good offers during the season. If they are offered nothing of good long-term value, then what do they actually risk waiting until the summer? The worst that could happen is them again not getting anything with good long-term value.
