According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, the Celtics have expressed interest in Memphis Grizzlies star forward Jaren Jackson Jr., who was named the NBA Defensive Player of the Year in 2023.

Memphis Grizzlies center Jaren Jackson Jr. is reportedly generating interest on the trade market while Ja Morant's long-term future with the organization remains uncertain.

NBA rumors reveal Detroit Pistons and Boston Celtics linked to Jaren Jackson Jr. trade as Memphis Grizzlies weigh Ja Morant future.

"The Boston Celtics would love to add Jaren Jackson Jr.," writes Matt Moore. "There is no team I’ve heard with more interest for Jackson."

While the Grizzlies have made point guard Ja Morant available, there's no indication that stance has extended to big man

Here's what it would take the Celtics, at minimum, to bring Jaren Jackson Jr. in from the Grizzlies via trade.

The Celtics are in the market for a big man, but one rumored option seems highly unlikely on the trade market.

The Memphis Grizzlies are ready and willing to talk Ja Morant trades. When potential poachers come calling, though, that won't be their preferred conversation of choice. Because while Morant's trade value is among the murkiest you'll find anywhere near the NBA's star ranks, the one held by teammate Jaren Jackson Jr. is through the roof.
