For the first time, the Memphis Grizzlies will begin listening to trade offers on center Marc Gasol and guard Mike Conley, league sources tell ESPN.
The franchise has decided that it's reached a crossroads and is preparing to weigh trade scenarios on one or both of its cornerstone veterans between now and the Feb. 7 trade deadline -- and perhaps into the offseason, league sources said.
Gasol and Conley met with owner Robert Pera in Memphis recently, but neither expressed a desire to be traded, league sources told ESPN.
The Grizzlies had hoped to contend for a return to the playoffs in the Western Conference, but have lost nine of 10 games to drop to 19-28 overall.
