According to RealGM, Ross is set to sign with the Grizz.

The swingman, who played the last four seasons with the Clippers, is expected to officially ink a minimum, non-guaranteed deal Friday.

I'm a little surprised that no one is willing to offer him guaranteed money. I know he's underrated around the league, but come on. Doesn't defense count for anything anymore? I know we don't have the room for him, but I'd love to see him in green.

I'm surprised too. 

I actually might have been fine with Signing Ross for a guaranteed contract at, say, $1M --- and spend the extra money we gave Tony Allen on another Center.  I love Tony, but i'm hoping that Giddens/Walker can bring some of his offense while Ross brought the D.

Heck, I'd have been fine giving him Darius Miles' invite to camp.

While Q might be a little undersized to play SF, I have little doubt that he'd be a more capable defender than Miles at the 3 spot.
