    Memphis Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley reiterated that the Griz will exercise their right to match any offer sheet Gasol might sign with another team.

    "Obviously, we want to sit down and try to make a deal with Marc," Heisley said. "I'm committed to keeping him. I'm committed to winning a championship."

    Gasol likely will command a starting salary ranging from $10-14 million.

    Just like under the rules of the league's last CBA, the Griz can offer Gasol a contract with more years and higher raises than any potential suitor.
