The Toronto Raptors are reportedly in talks with the Memphis Grizzlies that could see them add a first round draft pick and a veteran forward on draft day.

According to ESPN's Marc Stein, the Raptors could send John Salmons and their 37th pick to the Grizzlies for Tayshaun Prince and the No. 22 pick.

Toronto already owns the 20th pick and have reportedly shown interest in drafting Canadian Tyler Ennis.

Prince, 34, averaged six points, 1.6 assists and 3.1 rebounds per game in 76 games played this season.

Salmons, 34, came to Toronto in the deal that sent Rudy Gay to the Sacramento Kings. He averaged 5.2 PPG, 1.9 APG and 2.1 RPG in 78 games with the Kings and Raptors this season.

The addition would add approximately $7 million to Toronto's payroll next year, but Prince's deal expires after 2014-15.
