JUST SAY YES!

Proposed Trade Details

Boston Celtics Receive: Jaren Jackson Jr.

Memphis Grizzlies Receive: Anfernee Simons, Sam Hauser, 2031 first-round pick

Memphis says no. Bane netted them 4 firsts and a swap.
just because Orlando ridiculously overpaid for Bane doesn't mean there's another franchise that will or more importantly, that Boston will.

It?s not just Bane. Mikhal Bridges netted 5 first round picks and a swap. These guys are setting the market. Thinking you can get JJJ for spare parts and 1 first is fantasy land.
several dumb overpayments by badly run clubs does not mean the C's should do something just as dumb.

You?re right, Brad shouldn?t. Memphis also shouldn?t accept a trash offer for their best player.

Thinking of possible trades for Davis, I think this one makes some sense for all the teams

Dallas - Herro, Fontecchio
Memphis - Davis
Miami - Morant, Jerome

Dallas would probably have to move Herro or Irving, but I think value wise that makes some level of sense. I just can't see teams giving more than that for Davis.

It suck we are in direct competition with the Pistons, because there is definitely a deal there involving Isaiah Stewart & Sam Hauser.

Plan A:  Sign Bo Bichette (probably not likely)

Once Bichette is off the table, go to Plan B, C, D, ...

I would say Plan B is to trade for a 3B.  At this point, BOS could offer Duran or Abreu + Bello, and not really create a hole in their everyday line up or pitching rotation.  That is a lot and should return a very good player and likely some prospects.  Not sure who to target exactly but if they are able to do that, the line up could look like this:

1B  Contreras
2B  Meyer/Campbell Platoon
SS  Story
3B  New Guy
LF  Anthony or Duran
CF  Rafaela
RF  Abreu or Anthony
C    Narvaez
DH  Casas

With the pitching that they now have, that is a decent team.  There are too many LH hitting outfielders (Anthony, Abreu, Duran, Yoshida).  Got to move one of them, at least.  Another RH bat for the bench would be useful.  Some one who could play a position plus some DH against lefties.

I would not trade Abreu. He?s only 26 and would have likely hit 30hrs if he played a full season last year. Def not trading that guy. Duran? Sure.

Personally I'd just keep all 4. We have long term control at reasonable cost, zero talent at DH, and Rafaela can play 2B/SS. They all need days off, will never all be fully healthy all year, and we don't have a 5th outfielder anywhere in the system pressing it further.

If there's a clear win, like we can trade for a true ace or an elite 1B/3B or something, then yeah... but I fear wasting one of them in the name of "balance".

Duran is going to be 30 this year. I?d rather sell high on him and roll with the young guys.

If you can get good value and sell high at a position of strength it's always a reasonable option, but he'll be 29 for most of the season and has missed less than 10 games in 2 years. We have team control and he likes playing here. There should not be a rush to cash out just because Abreu and Rafaela are a few years younger. Whoever you trade him will have his own risks attached, most likely. Right now we get to have 4 really good young players that can coexist.
