The Memphis Grizzlies, Boston Celtics and New Orleans Pelicans have reportedly agreed on a five-player trade that would be headlined by Jeff Green leaving Boston for Memphis.
The NBA is expected to approve the deal later today, with Memphis acquiring Green and losing Tayshaun Prince to Boston and Quincy Pondexter to New Orleans.
The trade will also see Austin Rivers and Russ Smith leave the Pelicans for Boston and Memphis respectively, according to ESPN.com.
As part of the agreement, Memphis will give a protected future first-round pick to the Celtics and a future second-rounder to New Orleans.
Boston will lose their top scorer in Green, who is averaging 17.6 points this season, and are also expected to make Rivers immediately available for trade.
