Gilder gets waived, won't be idle long

Memphis has waived Trey Gilder, the rookie forward from NSU (2006-08), so his first stint in the NBA was brief. He played in 2 of the first 4 games for the Grizzlies before getting waived Wednesday.

The Maine Crab Claws in the NBA Developmental League have his rights - their season doesn't begin for a while, so we'll see how things unfold. There was some backchannel gossip that the Denver Nuggets had interest in preseason, but their hands were tied since Memphis had Gilder under contract.

He played in the D-League for Denver's 14ers last year when that team won the league title, so the Denver speculation fits. Time will tell. Good luck to Trey and congrats on getting to the NBA - it can and probably will happen again soon.
