After completing a deal to send the fifth pick to Minnesota on Wednesday, Washington appears open to dealing the 32nd selection.
According to a source, the Wizards would like to package the 32nd pick with the expiring contract of guard Mike James in order to acquire a veteran big man.
Even if they are unable to swing that type of deal, Washington might still consider trading the high second round pick for future considerations.
Currently, the Wizards have a rather guard-heavy roster.
"We feel like, yes, we are a little heavy at the guard position, but a lot of rosters are," Grunfeld said. "We'll see what opportunities present themselves to us and make a decision based on those options."

Washington Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld announced today that the team has acquired guard/forward Mike Miller and guard Randy Foye from the Minnesota Timberwolves in exchange for Etan Thomas, Darius Songaila, Oleksiy Pecherov and the fifth overall selection in the 2009 NBA Draft.
“We are very excited to welcome two solid, proven veterans in Mike Miller and Randy Foye to Washington,” said Grunfeld. “Mike is one of the NBA's elite three-point shooters who can really stretch the defense and provide an all-around game, and Randy has shown the ability to create scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates while providing excellent perimeter defense. Their skills complement our core very well and they will provide a boost as we re-establish ourselves as a contender in the Eastern Conference."
