The Boston Celtics came into the season as one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference. They are off to a relatively slow start by their standards but are still near the top of the conference and have a chance to improve at the NBA trade deadline. This could happen if they choose to make a move to improve their frontcourt.

This was a need for the Celtics ever since the Eastern Conference Finals. They were dominated by Bam Adebayo and the Miami Heat in that series. In the offseason, Boston signed Tristan Thompson in free agency but did not make any other moves to improve the unit.

Tristan Thompson and Daniel Theis are off to pedestrian starts to the season for the Celtics, the front office could look for improvements as we approach the NBA trade deadline. There is only only more pressure after seemingly passing on Myles Turner before the season started, too.

The Memphis Grizzlies are an interesting team that could have a fit for Boston. Memphis is led by second-year star Ja Morant at the point guard position. They have their franchise player to build around and work toward the postseason.

During the NBA Bubble, the Grizzlies finished just a game out of the playoff picture when they lost the plane game to the Portland Trail Blazers. The future is bright with Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. at the helm and Memphis knows this.

This NBA trade deadline scenario would point both teams in the right direction and help out some needs. Let’s take a look at what it might take to get a deal done between these two sides.
