The team they would trade with? Memphis. The Grizzlies have been reportedly shopping the pick and Portland did buy New Jersey's first round pick last year, taking Russian Viktor Khryapa.

There have been no shortage of reports this offseason suggesting that these two Memphis players would be dealt and it now appears that they will continue until late July at the earliest.
