The Boston Celtics need to shake up their roster with some consolidatory trades, with too many talented role players to play, and not quite enough star power to prevent their offense from being easy to game plan against. And while adding a star via trade would be the obvious solution to such a situation, it is not so easy to pry them loose from teams given their status as stars in the first place.
But finding players just below that threshold who more strongly complement the team’s two star forwards Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum is less of a tall order, and a topic we will see plenty of ink spilled on in the coming weeks. In fact, we are already seeing such articles percolate up through the wider NBA media sphere, such as that recently published by Bleacher Report’s Zach Buckley.
It’s no secret the team needs more playmaking, shooting, scoring, and size, and Buckley offers up a trio who address some or all of the above — let’s take a look at the trade targets he has in mind.
