A source told Chris Vernon that the Grizzlies are evaluating five guards and are expected to sign one for the playoff push. |

The Celtics may pad their backcourt by re-signing veteran PG Keyon Dooling. |
The cap-conscious Celtics could retain Dooling on a veteran's minimum deal, or via his Bird Rights, without affecting their luxury-tax status. They may do so to keep a true backup PG on the roster, as their other three guards (Courtney Lee, Avery Bradley and Jason Terry) are all natural SGs. |
