The part of the NBA season where we start to see blockbuster trade deals proposed en masse by analysts of the sport is starting in earnest with the availability of players who signed deals over the summer to be traded beginning a little less than two weeks from now.
And one such blockbuster trade projection was put together by Bleacher Report’s Grant Hughes that would see the Boston Celtics finally get their third star by shipping out some players who have deep roots with the team. The proposal is not far off from a similar deal proposed on an episode of our in-house “Celtics Lab” podcast, so we aren’t opposed to the deal in principle, though the ask would sting quite a bit.
Let’s take a look at Hughes’ hypothetical deal.
While there are other potential candidates who might fit the bill, it does seem surprising he is evidently not in the mix. https://t.co/YAbQxrAeGe
