Boston Celtics Receive: Jonas Valanciunas
Memphis Grizzlies Receive: Carsen Edwards, 2021 1st Round Pick, 2021 2nd Round Pick (via OKC)
Jonas Valanciunas would be the big man going to Boston in this deal. He would be a player who is ready to start and provide great depth in the frontcourt. The Celtics have been linked to some bigger names but Valanciunas could be one of the best fits available on the trade market.
If Memphis makes their big man available, there will be a few interested teams. Boston has the assets that they would be able to send back and it begins with a first-round pick in this year’s draft.
The Grizzlies would also get a second-round pick in this year’s draft from the Oklahoma City Thunder and Carsen Edwards. Those are the type of assets that could better help Memphis to build around Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. long-term.
Let’s take a look and see how this trade would benefit both teams right away this season.
