Mike Wells: No deal between Pacers and Grizzlies. Deal was in place, but Grizzlies pulled out at the last minute, according to a source. Twitter

The Grizzlies traded O.J. Mayo to Indiana for power forward/center Josh McRoberts and a first-round draft pick while moving Hasheem Thabeet and a future first-round selection to Houston in exchange for forward Shane Battier just as the NBA’s trade deadline expired at 2 p.m. Memphis Commercial Appeal

The campaign to get Indiana Pacers forward Josh McRoberts into this year's slam dunk contest during All-Star weekend is about to begin. McRoberts and teammate Brandon Rush filmed a scene from the movie "White Men Can't Jump" for a video they plan to post on a website in the near future because McRoberts wants to take part in his first dunk competition. "I grew up watching the dunk contest. Now I want my part in it," the high-flying McRoberts said. "It'll be fun being in it if it happens." Indianapolis Star

McRoberts played the part of Woody Harrelson's character, Billy Hoyle, and Rush was Wesley Snipes' character, Sidney Deane. "We're trying to get our man Josh into the contest," Rush said. "It was fun taking part in it. Everybody should like it." The scene, which was filmed at McRoberts' house, was from when Harrelson and Snipes are leaning on a graffiti wall at the end of the movie. McRoberts and Rush ordered the clothes Harrelson and Snipes wore in the scene off eBay. Indianapolis Star

Poor Josh McRoberts. Great night, great game -- both for him and his team -- and he's the goat. I write that with love (and not in any creepy sense). "Way to (bleep) it up!'' Dahntay Jones yelled from in front of his locker stall after the Pacers' extraordinary 144-113 victory over the Denver Nuggets. "That was point shaving right there! Point shaving!'' On one of the most ridiculous nights in Pacers history -- and one of the most remarkable in NBA history -- the Pacers hit 20 straight field goals, eight of them 3-pointers, in a surreal, 54-point the third quarter.
