    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The Orlando Magic have held serious trade talks with the Memphis Grizzlies about point guard Javaris Crittenton.

    Crittenton is part of the backcourt logjam in Memphis and would welcome a trade.

    "I know there's a lot of interest between the two teams and I have a call in to Otis (Smith) to talk to him about it," his agent Wallace Prather said on Monday. "We know a lot of the players on the Magic team, so it would be a good fit for Javaris."

    Crittenton played high school basketball with Dwight Howard.

    To get Crittenton, the Magic would most likely surrender veteran shooting guard Keith Bogans and multiple draft picks. Orlando has a glut of shooting guards with Pietrus, Bogans, J.J. Redick and rookie Courtney Lee.</div>

    Get him Otis! Dwight would love playing with his high school point guard again. [​IMG]

    I wouldn't trade Crittenton unless I got a big man in return if I were the Grizzlies. They're trying to cut costs, but Crittenton barely makes a penny.

    I'd be happy to add J.J. Redick to the roster, but where would he play? The Grizzlies just dealt Mike Miller for O.J. Mayo, so hopefully they're planning on playing the kid.

    And besides, have the Grizzlies given up hope on developing Crittenton into a two-guard already? That's where he played pretty much every minute for the Grizz last season, and he looked pretty good doing it.
