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

Houston Rockets forward Dillon Brooks is known for his ability to irritate opponents. Doing this regularly during his six seasons with the Memphis Grizzlies, Brooks led the NBA with 18 technical fouls during the 2022-23 season ( via Fox Sports ).

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.

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

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.

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.

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

During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Banks wore only jersey No. 11 and put up 5.3 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game.

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.
