Outside of Mike Miller, there are no reliable three-point shooters on the roster. Damon Stoudamire and Brian Cardinal have too many injury concerns to be counted on as every day players - both are almost crippled. Rudy Gay has some range, but he's streaky at this point in his career. Kinsey is known more for his mid-range game. Lowry and Conley Jr. aren't long-bombers.
A big rumor has been Navarro, and the moves made recently (Stevenson signing for most of the MLE, Alexander Johnson's release creating that much more cap room) are giving Grizz fans some hope for that. But...it's a rumor for now.

Would they consider a player like Martell Webster? I am not sure what his trade value would be on the open market, but would a player like that work, I don't think that there is a huge amount of three point players out there for 3 million a year, good ones that it.

I'm sure the franchise would have some use for Webster, but as always, it would depend on the price. If the price is Conley Jr., then certainly not.
If we're talking players from the 06-07 Blazers roster, Udoka seems a more-likely acquisition, given Memphis' defensive woes.
