The sellers so far: What teams might move players – and which?

At roughly one-third of the way through the 2020-21 NBA season, a handful of teams are beginning to look like the postseason will be out of reach — even considering the continuing existence of the play-in tournament.

And with the Boston Celtics needing to add some talent to their roster to compete consistently at all (never mind for a title), that can help clarify which teams and what players team president Danny Ainge and the rest of the front office ought to be targeting in the coming weeks. With a historically-big traded player exception generated by the Gordon Hayward offseason sign-and-trade and a pair of smaller ones from lesser moves, the Celtics are well-positioned to shake things up if they want to.

But who might they be looking at, and on which rosters? Let’s look at the likely suspects.
