The Grizziles are expected to sign free agent Quinton Ross soon in an attempt to add both defense and maturity on the wing, according to Memphis Commercial Appeal.
The swingman, who played the last four seasons with the Clippers, is expected to officially ink a minimum, non-guaranteed deal Friday.

The Grizzlies' efforts to land a power forward, first Josh Smith and then Zach Randolph, have come up empty, but GM Chris Wallace isn't panicking.
"Things start opening up a little more after teams get into the preseason schedule and teams get more of a barometer of what they actually have," Wallace said.
"We don't have a perfectly proportioned team right now in terms of the roster. We still have needs.
"We're in a talent-acquisition mode until we get to where we're a powerhouse team. When you're in a talent-acquisition mode there are going to be times when you have too many guards, too many centers or whatever. But that's part of the process in acquiring talent."
Wallace said any potential Randolph deal is dead.
"It's not going to happen at this point in time," Wallace said. "I never rule out the future. Who knows where all parties go down the road? But right now, I don't expect anything to happen."

Lakers' executive Mitch Kupchak claims that the Grizzlies were looking to acquire Sun Yue in a trade, according to NBA.com.
"Memphis also wanted Sun in the trade, but we wanted to keep at least one of those two guys so Memphis wanted Marc [Gasol], and we are happy that we were able to keep Sun Yue, because we liked him when we drafted him," Kupchak said.
The Lakers drafted Sun with the fortieth overall pick in the 2007 NBA Draft.
