Ronnie Brewer took another giant step toward what looks like his imminent return when he played in a full-contact, 3-on-3 game Thursday on the Grizzlies' FedExForum practice court.

Brewer has said that his partially torn right hamstring is healing ahead of schedule. He's officially missed three weeks today, and I'd probably put the target date for his return at March 16 when the Griz host the Chicago Bulls.

"Thabeet Don't Stop"

This is the inspirational and completely untrue story of Hasheem Thabeet's turbulent rookie reason with the Memphis Grizzlies of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Any similarity to persons living or dead is highly unlikely, but the per 36 minutes stats are real.

In what I assume is the first time in the eight year history of the Memphis Grizzlies Hasheem Thabeet's basketball career, he finally looked like he belonged: he didn't overmatch his opponents, but he wasn't overmatched, either. It seemed, for once, he was playing with his contemporaries.

This doesn't necessarily sound like a ringing endorsement of Thabeet because, well, it isn't. It's also not meant to tear him apart, because again, that's not what I'm attempting to do. He simply looked like an average D-League player.

Grizzlies Offered O.J. for Monta Ellis?

Grizzlies Offered O.J. for Monta Ellis?

File this one under questionable at best, the Golden State Warriors beat writer posted on his blog that the Grizzlies offered O.J. Mayo for Monta Ellis.

We knew the Grizzlies attempted to acquire Ellis earlier in the season and were rejected, but it was assumed that deal centered around Mike Conley and picks.

O.J. Mayo is still believed to be relatively close to untouchable.

Reserve forward Darrell Arthur has been cleared to begin full-contact practices with the Grizzlies - the last major step toward his return to the team's rotation.

Arthur, who hasn't played this season because of surgery to repair a pectoral muscle, will be able to participate without restrictions Wednesday or Thursday. The Griz play tonight at Cleveland.

Utah's Take on Ronnie Brewer Trade

A solid point here that, with the Grizzlies just 1.5 games behind the Jazz, this could be a dead rumor that's just being floated to stop the Jazz's newfound resurgence and chemistry. That being said, the Jazz aren't denying that they have talked to the Grizzlies about moving Brewer.

Memphis to be All-Star Snubbed? Not Exactly...

Because it looks like our good friend Allen Iverson is going to be starting in the big dance. In other news, any team could have another All-Star starting forward if they could package $22 million in expiring contracts.

Sometimes fan voting just doesn't get it done, and the NBA All-Star game is certainly one of these times.
