Overview
- NBA reporter Matt Moore says Boston “would love” to land Jaren Jackson Jr., calling the Celtics the team with the most interest.
- Memphis is described as at a crossroads as it weighs major moves, with reporting indicating openness to reshaping the roster.
- Any deal is expected to be pick‑heavy and include cost‑controlled players, reflecting Jackson’s value and long team control.
- Jackson’s recent max extension carries significant luxury‑tax implications that could lock Boston into second‑apron spending.
- Analysts highlight Jackson’s elite rim protection and spacing but note concerns about rebounding and foul trouble, as Boston also evaluates other bigs such as Ivica Zubac and Daniel Gafford.
