While Pau Gasol is an untouchable for Jerry West, he has had trade discussions involving Shane Battier and Mike Miller.

The Grizzlies have already turned down a deal that would have landed them one of the league's starting point guards, West said.

"We need to do a good job in the draft this year," West said. "You have to give something to get something. Would we do that? Absolutely. ...Your mind is working constantly on how to get a player in here that will make a difference. Sometimes you do that at the expense of trading someone people wouldn't like (you to trade)."
