Should the Boston Celtics consider this controversial trade proposal that would save them money and enhance their depth?

The Grizzlies have been led by star forward Jaren Jackson Jr. this season, as co-star point guard Ja Morant has been mildly underwhelming. Morant has already missed 19 games this season and is now in jeopardy of missing his 20th on Thursday against the Rockets.

During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Lee wore only jersey No. 11 and put up 7.7 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.1 steals per game.

Oklahoma City, Houston and Memphis are young teams with large asset pools, but going "all-in" at the wrong time could backfire.

Ja Morant is on the injury report for this contest, listed as questionable for the Grizzlies with shoulder soreness. Morant had previously missed time this year due to a shoulder injury, as well as more games with various other ailments.

Jaylen Brown's points prop will be the best bet to target to help the Boston Celtics get their edge back as they face the New Orleans Pelicans.

With the Memphis Grizzlies continually popping up as a Johnson suitor, Buckley suggested that the Nets pounce on a deal with Memphis that would land them Marcus Smart, GG Jackson II and a 2025 first-rounder (top-five protected) in exchange for Johnson.

Dillon Brook's pockets will be a little lighter due to his comments following the Rockets' win over the Celtics.

Meanwhile, Spurs centre Victor Wembanyama has been chosen for his first NBA All-Star Game as one of seven reserves from the Western Conference. Read more at straitstimes.com.
