The Boston Celtics decided to keep the proverbial powder dry by electing to move off of veteran point guard Kemba Walker’s contract early in their offseason, opening the door for a potential major trade.
But who could be on the horizon on the incoming end of such a deal, and who might have to go out to make it happen? The Athletic’s Jared Weiss and NBC Boston Sports’ Chris Mannix talk on the pros and cons of making a move for Portland Trail Blazer guard C.J. McCollum — presuming the veteran is even available for such a deal — in a recent video making the rounds.
Watch the clip embedded below to take your own pulse on stomaching (or perhaps welcoming) what it would take to get such a deal done. The cost might not be minor, but that’s what an impactful deal tends to require in today’s NBA.
