NBA Rumors: 3 Players the Boston Celtics are currently targeting

#2 Mike Conley

Mike Conley is expected to leave the Memphis Grizzlies

Mike Conley has spent his entire career to date with the Memphis Grizzlies, although he is expected to be traded this summer as the Grizzlies look to move forward with Murray State's Ja Morant.

Conley has been linked with a number of teams including the Utah Jazz, although during an appearance on ESPN's NBA Mock Draft Special, Adrian Wojnarowski revealed that the Celtics would be interested in acquiring the veteran if Kyrie Irving leaves in free agency.

Conley will turn 32 later this year. The 2018-19 season though was one of the best of his career as he averaged 21.1 points, 6.4 assists, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.3 steals per game. However, the Celtics may be somewhat hesitant to take on his contract without first offloading Gordon Hayward as Conley is set to make $32.5 million and $34.5 million over the upcoming two seasons.
