The Memphis Grizzlies and JaMychal Green are finalizing a two-year deal worth more than $17 million.

Green had until Sunday to accept the Grizzlies' qualifying offer.

Green has been a restricted free agent this offseason.

JaMychal Green and the Memphis Grizzlies are not close to agreeing upon a long-term deal.

Green has until Sunday to accept the $2.8 million qualifying offer from the Grizzlies. If Green accepts the qualifying offer, he will become an unrestricted free agent next summer.

“We’re not going to go into negotiations. That’s been our policy with any player,” Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace said.

“Everyone knows how we feel about him. I love him. He knows that,” David Fizdale said. “The fact that I was willing to start him over an All-Star (Zach Randolph) means my actions say enough about how I feel about him. Right now, I have to coach the living, the guys on the court.”

Said center Marc Gasol: “He’s somebody we really need in today’s NBA. I hope he gets here soon.”

After signing a four-year, $94 million max contract with the Memphis Grizzlies, Chandler Parsons played in only 34 games and was largely ineffective. Parsons was booed by Memphis fans before being shut down to under surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee.

"You get paid a certain salary, you're judged, and you're expected to perform at the highest level when you're getting paid at the highest level," Parsons says. "To put it simply, I didn't last year. I truly believe it was 95 percent injury. I don't think I've lost my game or lost a step.

"Just physically, I wasn't there last year. I was a step slow, I wasn't athletic, I wasn't fast. I wasn't myself."

Because Parsons didn't have to go through the same type of extensive rehab as he had in the previous two summers, he could focus on training.

"I dedicated my entire summer to my body," Parsons says. "I can't even really compare it to last year because it's night and day how my body feels, the kind of shape I'm in. I'm lean. I'm playing 5-on-5, one-on-one, 2-on-2, 3-on-3. Working out five times a week. I'm doing stuff now that basically I couldn't even do throughout the season last year. It's completely different."

Marc Gasol made ambiguous comments this offseason about his future with the Memphis Grizzlies as they begin to regress somewhat.

During media day, Gasol was asked if he remains happy in Memphis.

“For sure,” Gasol said. “I’m very fortunate to do what I do and represent the city that I love. I’ve been here now for 10 years with this team. I’m really happy.”

Gasol revealed he speaks regularly with majority owner Robert Pera.

Gasol signed a five-year, $110 million deal with the Grizzlies in 2015.

Tony Allen is finalizing a one-year deal with the New Orleans Pelicans.

Allen has spent the past seven seasons with the Memphis Grizzlies.

The Memphis Grizzlies have refused to put Marc Gasol into any trade conversations, according to two sources close to the situation. The Grizzlies consider Gasol untouchable. 

Gasol signed a five-year max contract in 2015 and can't become a free agent until 2019.

There have been reports this offseason that the Boston Celtics have interest in trading for Gasol.

Memphis also considers Mike Conley untouchable. The Grizzlies will continue to build around Gasol and Conley over the long-term.
