The Memphis Grizzlies are nearing completion on a trade with the Boston Celtics for Jeff Green.

The Celtics would acquire TayShaun Prince and a first round pick from the Grizzlies for Green. The Grizzlies will send a heavily protected pick that likely won't be conveyed to the Celtics before 2019.

The two sides are waiting on a third team to get involved to finalize the trade with the New Orleans Pelicans entering the picture. The Pelicans could acquire Quincy Pondexter, while sending out John Salmons to the Celtics.
