The NBA Trade Rumors are heating up all around the league as the cast for the second round is completed. Eight more teams are eliminated and the Memphis Grizzlies, like the other teams, need to get back on the drawing board.

The main concern for Memphis is scoring. They are already one of the top defensive teams in the league with Marc Gasol and Tony Allen. They have the capacity to hold down even the league's strongest offensive duo in Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. Unfortunately, when the other guys score Memphis is left without an answer.

Zach Randolph is their top scorer, being a solid option in the low post.

He can still get double-doubles but he is obviously on the decline. He has a player option he can exercise for $16.5 million which is pretty steep.

ESPN analyzed solutions for the Grizzlies: "Randolph's decision with his $16.5 million player option will dictate much of what route Memphis will take this offseason. If he opts out, re-signing a more cap-friendly deal (for example, three years for $36 million) will give the Grizzlies the breathing room to make some additions while setting themselves up to be able to afford Gasol's next deal. If he opts in, the cost certainty allows Memphis to explore deals for him, perhaps to Los Angeles in a sign-and-trade for the other Gasol, Pau."

There is also a sentimental angle to it: "I love family reunions, so I decided reuniting the Gasol brothers would be the focus of my Grizzlies roster reload. Assuming Randolph opts-in, sending him to Los Angeles would give the Lakers the type of win-now talent that Kobe Bryant will no doubt demand, while the Grizzlies would be better positioned to take advantage of sibling synergies (not to mention Pau's ability to make plays from both high and low post, just like Marc). A flat, three-year, $39 million deal with partial guarantees on the final two years gives Memphis the cost certainty they need moving forward to account for Marc's free agency."

The Lakers, in the meantime, are ready to take expiring deals. They want to retain their cap flexibility for 2015 to sign Kevin Love but they want to have a strong team this year because the fans and Kobe will not take another tanking year.
