BOS - MEM | Tatum for JJJ 

Post#1 » by esvl » Thu May 15, 2025 5:54 pm

Tatum
for
JJJ+

I think the swap is technically possible.

Boston would remain a contender next season by replacing the injured star with the comparable level player/asset. JJJ should smoothly fit into the current roster and system. Jrue-White-Brown-JJJ-Porz

Memphis would leverage its depth next season to allow Aldama to play a bigger role before trading him next summer when Tatum returns.

yup.

From me I think JJjr is about the perfect Center for the team if they are keeping Joe as a coach.

Block shots, sets picks, switchable and most importantly.....shoots 3s.

Memphis needs to attach a bunch of assets to make it realistic.
If it’s for Brown it’s probably reasonable to consider.
