Rudy Gay has heard his name mentioned in a few trade rumors, but would prefer to remain with the Grizzlies.

Gay will become an restricted free agent next summer if Memphis doesn't sign him to an extension by Oct. 31.

Neither Gay nor the Grizzlies would predict whether an agreement is likely to be reached by the deadline.

"I know what I can do on the basketball court," Gay told the Memphis Commercial Appeal. "Everything else will work itself out. I love Memphis. Memphis has been my home. This is where I want to be. I really believe this is where I can make big things happen for myself and the Grizzlies."
