Rudy Gay

Unless there is significant progress in negotiations, it appears the Grizzlies and forward Rudy Gay will not agree to a long-term contract extension before the Oct. 31 deadline.

Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace said Thursday that the discussions, while amicable, are about where they have been since the summer.

Wallace has negotiated with Gay’s agent, Jeff Austin, since July 1. They have met in Las Vegas, Memphis and briefly in Richmond, Va., where the Griz played a preseason game against the Washington Wizards.

Wallace would not characterize their most recent talks, and it is not known where each side stands with regard to total compensation.
