The Cavaliers have spent the last few days trying to improve their roster by trading for players like J.R. Smith, Iman Shumpert, and Timofey Mozgov. But they're not the only team looking to make trades to improve at the moment.

According to reports out of Memphis, the Grizzlies—who are currently the third-best team in the NBA's Western Conference—are also weighing their options when it comes to completing a trade or two. They're reportedly interested in trying to swing a deal for either Heat forward Luol Deng or Celtics forward Jeff Green soon. And while it's unclear whether or not Miami or Boston would do a deal with Memphis, the Grizz do have some attractive pieces—like Tayshaun Prince's expiring contract—that they could offer them.

Stay tuned to see if Memphis ultimately ends up working out a deal with either team this month.
