A decision on where free-agent forward Scottie Pippen will play next season could come early next week.

The 37-year-old also is weighing offers from Memphis, San Antonio and Dallas.

Memphis emerged as a serious option once Pippen met with Griz majority owner Michael Heisley earlier this week.

Heisley, who was in town Thursday to help open the FedExForum Preview Center, said the Grizzlies had not given Pippen a deadline.

"This has to be worked out between Jerry West, Scottie and Brian (Parker, who is Pippen's Memphis-based representative). I can't tell you what the chances are because I'm not Jerry West," Heisley said. ". . . Chicago is a real possibility (for Pippen)."
