Ross Wants To Stay With Grizzles

Quinton Ross could be an attractive free agent this summer because of his abilities on both ends of the floor, but he is already saying he wants to stay in Memphis.

"I like it here. I would like to come back," Ross said recently. "You never know how things go. I'm just hoping I can end this season the right way, and we'll see how it goes."

Ross will become an unrestricted free agent after this season, just his fifth in the NBA.

"He's improved his stock, but he's improved his game," Grizzles coach Lionel Hollins said. "Since he's been here, he's gained more confidence. He's putting the ball on the floor more and looking for his shot when it's there. Every now and then he'll put the ball on the floor and seek a shot.

"In order to play in the NBA, you can play a role, but you have to be a basketball player first. And Quinton is starting to do that. His defense is still good. I just like having him around."

Grizzles Looking To Extend Gay's Contract

One of the top priorities for the Grizzles this offseason will be to sign forward Rudy Gay to a contract extension.

Gay has made it known that he'd prefer to remain in Memphis for the long haul.

"As a player and a person, I want to be set going into next season," Gay said. "I want to be comfortable and work on trying to be an All-Star. So yeah, (an extension) is important to me."

Gay, who is putting the finishing touches on a strong third season, will become eligible to negotiate an extension beginning on July 1.

If no extension is reached, Gay would become a restricted free agent in summer 2010.
