Dan Gilbert has spoken with Grizzlies' GM Jerry West about the possibility of taking over the controls in Cleveland. West is under contract with the Grizzlies for another season and is going to stay in Memphis.

Gilbert also spoke with Memphis Tigers head coach John Calipari.

"They asked to meet and we talked," Calipari said. "But I'm not a candidate. We've got a good thing going and I'm not looking to do anything. I'm not going to be there. That's not happening. It's just that time of year. I was flattered that they wanted to talk."

"There's a lot of names that are kind of circulating out there and a lot of rumors," Gilbert said. "And unfortunately, or fortunately, I can't comment on any of them. ... There's nothing imminent right now signing with anybody but we're getting very close. We're very excited about the candidates we're talking to."
