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

Some of the sexier names making the rounds in the wider NBA media sphere have been tied to the Celtics in recent weeks.

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.

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

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.

According to HoopsHype's Michael Scotto, the Celtics won't be deterred from trading for Jaren Jackson Jr., just because the Grizzlies hope to keep him.
