There’s a lot of buzz with Boston Celtics trade rumors, and Celtics Today host Will Scott breaks it all down in today’s video. Utah Jazz forward Kelly Olynyk has been in NBA trade rumors, and NBC Sports Boston reporter Chris Forsberg says a reunion between Boston and Olynyk is possible. Will reacts to the new Celtics rumors and explains why a trade for Olynyk makes sense for Boston. Forsberg says that Danilo Gallinari, Justin Jackson, and Payton Pritchard might have to be included in a possible trade to make the money work.

Chris Forsberg (on Kelly Olynyk trade rumors):
“I asked a couple people around the league, and league sources indicate the Celtics’ interest here is real, Now, it’s a little bit of a prohibitive number to get to, a little more than $12 million. You’re talking about pairing (Danilo) Gallinari, Payton Pritchard, Justin Jackson in order to make the money work. I think that’s something that has to intrigue the Celtics. He’s someone who would definitely play in a playoff series. There’s going to be some competition for Kelly Olynyk, not the least of which will be Miami — another team that’s had him. I’m very interested to see how it plays out. But it’s someone I think the Celtics have legitimate interest in.”
Kelly Olynyk played for Boston from 2013-17, and then played for the Miami Heat for 4 years. Boston needs depth down low so a possible reunion could make sense for both sides.

Who is your top trade target for the Celtics?
Chris Forsberg (on Kelly Olynyk trade rumors):
Kelly has another year left (on his contract) after this year, he has familiarity with these surroundings, and so I do think there’s something to it. The best thing I can say is Kelly would give you versatility at both the forward/center positions. He can play with anybody. He can play with Robert Williams, he can play with Al Horford, he can play with Grant Williams.

Get Naz Reid he's cheaper
Olynyk ok,but reid & vanderbilt better
Its funny how yall rumors never happen
Im not a fan of his contract, but if its between the C's and Heat, C's will get him cause Danny Ainge hates the Heat and Pat Riely. lol
Kyrie to Dallas makes sense. I would rather get Naz on the Celtics than Olynyk.
We don't need him, this trade rumor is stupid he is useless for this team I really don't see what good he will bring like I don't see no high rise in winning percentage with him, please stop this
N!!!
Are they trading to try and win a championship or are we gonna keep him and don’t win the title get rid of him it be a waste .. of money if not a long term deal.. but not much time left to get use to all player currently on roster but I think it’s a smart trade . But hope no injuries pop up and could make a good run ..then we need to get Jae crowder too !! But done trade great player in roster now to get one guy that might not get the job done ..
Hey will .. quick question.. what’s up with the ABBA Album in background on top self ??? Just wanted to know ??? Lol ha ha
And what’s up with Jackson on the bench .. why not use him for trade .. seem to be a good player when on court .. save Pritchard and trade Jackson and a few others to get a good player like olinick or potel or even crowder .. keep Pritchard unless he wants out for More playing time .. Pritchard is our ace in hole
Grant/Gallinari/PP for Olynyk/Vanderbilt

Pass, I don’t see the good Kelly will bring to the celtics
Brad will bring Theis back before Olynk.
No need to trade. Let’s see where we go with current list. Maybe Gallo gets back for post season? Either way now that Kyrie is out of Brooklyn, KD will be gettable for 2023-2024 season

BRAD NEEDS TO STOP BRINGING BACK PLAYERS WE TRADED THEY ARENT GOOD AT ALL
I have always like Kelly and he will contribute to the team but don't get rid of Payton
Olynyk is nice but Naz Reid still better option. younger with better defense
K.D. 👍👏
NO!
Keep Griffin Blake on the Celtics
Traits draft picks trade some Cash for it. Kelly back
I agree for Kelly, but dont trade Payton.
p
we have enough dead beats dont need anymore
