There's another team in on the two Memphis stars.
The Wizards have inquired about trading for Mike Conley or Marc Gasol, according to a report from the Washington Post.

But Charlotte is at the front on Gasol.
Washington lost point guard John Wall for 2018-19 earlier this season as he elected to have surgery to remove bone spurs in his left heel. It then found out this week it may have lost him for next season, as well, as he suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon when he slipped and fell in his home.
Conley has 1 1/2 years left on his current contract and a player option for the 2020-21 season. If the Wizards were to pick him up, it would theoretically solve their point guard problems.
As for Gasol, according to the Post's report, the Hornets are in the lead to acquire him, but that has clearly not stopped Washington from checking in.
The Wizards lost center Dwight Howard to a back injury earlier this season, and if he does come back, there are no guarantees he will be 100 percent.
Washington is 22-31 on the season, 3 1/2 games behind the Heat for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
