Wallace: No 'Untouchables' In Memphis

Grizzles general manager Chris Wallace will be looking to shakeup the team's roster this summer, and says that there are no "untouchable" players.

"We need additional front-line talent," said Wallace on Thursday.

The four best players on the Memphis roster, O.J. Mayo, Rudy Gay, Marc Gasol and Mike Conley, are all under the age of 24.

"When you're a 24-win team, you don't have untouchables," said Wallace. "I promise, we're not resting on our laurels."

Grizzlies Relieved Amare Trade Was Not Made

As the trade deadline approached one of the scenarios involving Suns' star forward Amare Stoudemire was the All-Star to Memphis for a first-round draft pick, Rudy Gay and Mike Conley.

According to the Arizona Republic, one person who is glad the trade did not go through is Memphis coach Lionel Hollins.

"You can make a trade like that and it looks good on the surface but we're not a winning team," said Hollins.

"You're trading your nucleus for one player who's probably not going to take you over the hump. I love Amare Stoudemire as a player but he's not Shaq (Shaquille O'Neal) when Shaq was in his prime. He's not LeBron James. He's not Kobe Bryant. Even those guys need players around them.

"If we trade a huge core of our nucleus and a first-round pick, Amaré is sitting here by himself unhappy, and we're still a losing team. So what benefit did a trade make? It would have helped Phoenix."
