At the moment, the Memphis Grizzlies are close to having an established starting five. Obviously, Conley and Gasol are in there. With Tyreke Evans likely coming off the bench, Ben McLemore – or Summer League standout Wayne Selden – will man the 2-guard. Chandler Parsons will hopefully be healthy and back in the starting lineup. However, there’s a glaring hole at the power forward position.
Long-time starting power forward Zach Randolph is on his way to Sacramento. Then, the Grizzlies still need to re-sign last year’s starter JaMychal Green. According to the Commercial Appeal’s Ron Tillery, the negotiations aren’t pretty:
Green’s agent, Michael Hodges, said he hasn’t talked to Memphis about contract parameters since free agency began.
