Two small market teams could be in talks to make a big splash on the upcoming 2009-10 NBA season. The Pioneer Press reports the Memphis Grizzlies may be looking at trading pending free agent Rudy Gay. Gay, who may be looking at a big payday when his upcoming contract runs out, would be an ideal fit for the Wolves. Memphis, meanwhile, could be interested in landing Ricky Rubio. Whether or not Rubio would want to play in Memphis without Gay remains to be seen.
In other news, the Dallas Morning News reports Mavericks star forward Dirk Nowitzki’s ex-fiancee was sentenced to five years in prison for violating her probation. Cristal Taylor has stated she is pregnant with the child of Nowitzki.
More sad off the court news comes from Houston. Yahoo! Sports reports Heat forward Michael Beasley has checked himself into a rehab hospital for substance abuse and psychological problems.
