The Grizzlies are denying rumors that they are looking to trade Hasheem Thabeet and O.J. Mayo.

It was reported on Monday that Memphis was shopping Thabeet "hard," while another report suggested Mayo could be traded as early as this week.

"We are not trying to trade O.J. or Hasheem," said Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley. "We haven't had any conversations about them, and I should know because I'm the one making the decisions."

Memphis coach Lionel Hollins said trade rumors involving Mayo will persist because of his move to the bench.

"A lot of people have speculated that he's going to be traded because he's not starting," Hollins said. "That's the nature of the media beast."
