The Grizzlies are considering trading the 25th overall pick for a young veteran player, according to a source with knowledge of the team's thinking.

Memphis passed on a chance to acquire Houston small forward Chase Budinger, who was traded to Minnesota in exchange for the 18th pick in tonight's draft.

Front office officials want to see who’s available at their pick before pulling the trigger on a deal.

"When you're picking 25th you don't know what your opportunities are going to be so you don't know what you'll do," owner Michael Heisley said. "If you trade, that pick could be part of that trade so you have to wait until you get in there and see what is happening and who is left."
