Celtics Trade Reports ESCALATING…



Celtics Trade Reports ESCALATING…

Trade reports are escalating for the Boston Celtics as there is less than one week away until the trade deadline and with the Celtics still having that Grant Williams traded player exception and still looking for a big time Wing or possibly even some font Court depth the Celtics will probably be utilizing this

Traded player exception and we’ll be exploring two more guys that the Celtics could be looking at to bring in for this Celtics roster all of that and more on this episode of Celtics digest I’m Bruce FZ but before we dive into this Boston Celtics content I would like to roughly

Boston Celtics content and coverage hit that subscribe Button as you definitely will not regret it but let’s dive into the news at hand today so make sure to grab a snack as today’s episode is going to be a jam packed one as we dive into these Boston Celtics trade rumors and

Trade targets and like I just mentioned there are are two more potential targets available for the Boston Celtics ahead of this trade deadline with less than one week away and GM Brad Stevens is cooking some things up possibly for the Boston Celtics first we’re going to be looking at this article from Bleacher

Report that says Celtics rumors Boston searching for front Court depth ahead of the 2024 NBA trade deadline and this is from Joseph Zucker now if you guys do not know the Boston Celtics continue to search for additional front Court depth ahead of the NBA tread deadline according to NBA Insider Mark Stein but

It doesn’t appear anything big is in store though while Stein adding the team is willing to only part with players on the most nominal contracts in any potential upcoming moves meaning that the Boston Celtics are not willing to include any of their big name guys in any of these trades like I expected

Obviously the starting five is not going to be involved as Jason Tatum Jaylen Brown are their two future Superstars Derek Whit has an insane emergence with this Boston Celtics core this year and Drew holiday and Christoph porzingis were recently acquired in trades last off season guys like Al Horford who’s a

Big veteran who’s the only movable contract on the Boston Celtics doesn’t seem like he’s going to get moved either just because he’s had such an impactful role for the Boston Celtics team and he truly deserves to be here Sam Hower and Pon prch are the lower end contracts on

The Boston Celtics as well but their Improvement to the bench has actually really helped out this Boston Celtics core the only problem with the Boston Celtics like the article mentions is a lack of front Court depth with the Boston Celtics having some injury history to kristofh porzingis already

This season Al Horford resting in the back to back and recently we’ve seen Luke cornette out a couple of games namus kada OA brette and Lamar Stevens have had to step up for the Boston Celtics in recent games and even though names kada and O sheret have shown that

They do great things for the Boston Celtics sometimes their numbers don’t put out the best for the Boston Celtics and it’s looking like the Celtics could use that additional Wing help or additional front Court help so we’re going to be looking at two potential guys that the Boston Celtics could be

Going after looking at this article from 985 the sports up if you guys don’t know who that is there are radio Station in Boston who breaks down potential moves with all the teams in coring to Boston and they have two moves that the Boston Celtics should go after for this team

Using the traded player exception we want to look it says that the Celtics have a trade chip that they have to use this month and quickly president of basketball operations Brad Stevens has until the NBA trade deadlined next Thursday to use what he’s called a traded player exception to acquire

Another player before it expires the tpe is essentially a voucher to trade for a player without having to move salary back the other way the tpe was created after the Celtics sent Grant Williams to the davers Mars in exchange for two second round picks the Celtics tpe is for 6.25 Million by

Rule they can use it to acquire any player/ players costing 6.3 million or less so let’s take a look at some players that could fit into the tpe and make sense as mid-season depth editions for the Boston Celtics so like this article mentions only can acquire guys that are combined together or

Individually up to $6.25 million meaning that Celtics can’t necessarily go out and get a big time guy but there are some guys on some cheaper contracts and cheaper deals that could realistically help out the Boston Celtics in some vious instance of need the first guy we’re going to be looking at that this

Article has talked about is sadique Bay now I know I’ve mentioned sadik Bay on here before and I know a lot of Celtics fans would really really like the Boston Celtics to go after a guy in Sadiq Bay as he’s a great wing for the Atlanta

Hawks he was recently acquired to to the Hawks from the M from the Pistons last year for a bunch of second round anyways so if the Boston Celtics were to throw in their abundance of second round picks that they required from this draft season this year or that they have just

Stocked up to the Atlanta Hawks for a guy in sadq Bay I think the Hawks would necessarily do it the Hawks are a team who’s close to the luxury tax and by being that they are one of the worst teams in the NBA at 11th in the Eastern

Conference so it’s not looking great for the Hawks being in money trouble but also not performing so the Hawks are looking to move off some of their guys we’ve already seen them move off of John Collins last year dejonte Murray bonovich Clint Capello those guys are in

The rumors this year but a guy like sadik Bay who’s only making roughly around $6 million could be a guy that the Hawks don’t want to extend and give a lot of money to in the future just because they’ve had this emergence of Jaylen Johnson in their off season and

They already have a guy in DeAndre Hunter who’s a pretty solid Wing perimeter player as well so moving off a guy in sque Bay to the Boston Celtics could help the Celtics as the Hawks get a couple second round picks to help them for the future but the Celtics get

Another you know creative score on the wing position a little bit better than o sha Bret and Lamar at that can stretch the floor be a little bit better at that his 3% shooting hasn’t been the greatest this year if we want to look at his

Stats we can see 12.9 points 6.5 total rebounds 1.5 assists shooting 41% from the field and 30% from three a little bit of a dip from his career high at 35% but his free throw percentage is at 81% and honestly with the Atlanta Hawks he’s

Tasked to be more of a stretch four and be that guy to take those shots with the Boston Celtics I’d see him be kind of like an Al Horford escroll where he’s going to come off the bench and he’s going to shoot shoot those shots necessarily if he’s given the open

Opportunity he’s not going to be shot chucking and creating much of opportunities like he is with the Atlanta Hawks and I think he’d fit into a better position with the Boston Celtics let me know what you guys think in the comment section down below about sadik Bay but the next guy that we’re

Going to be diving in has a little bit more to deal with the front Court aspirations that the first article was talking about and that is a center in Dwight Powell now the Dallas Mavericks have used Dwight pow for the last couple years and he would fit into this Grant

Williams traded player exception he’s an all right center who’s been you know had some all right Seasons with the Dallas Mavericks with the Dallas Mavericks recently just getting Derek livley with their lottery pick last off season and him being a great performer for them

They have a little bit of a center ho or Center need that they kind of looking to get rid of and joy pow as Derek Lively already holds that role for them they have some you know backup guys some smaller lineups but the Dallas Mavericks are looking to you know possibly bring

In some more wings and bring in some more Talent so a guy like Dwight P who’s in that kind of powerful W Center position that they’re looking kind of to upgrade could be a guy that could possibly be on the Move he’s an all right offensive Center not the greatest

Defensive Center and he could kind of help out with the Boston Celtics just being you know a bigger body and being you know a guy who’s already had NBA experience a little bit better than namus kada perhaps but I think trading for a guy in Jo pow doesn’t really move

The needle for the boss in Celtics that much I think we’re just bringing in another another body just to have another body at that point kind of what the Celtics did with Mike muscala last season and even if this is what the Celtics want to go for it and it’s not

Going to necessarily help them out in that much of a way I think sadik Bay brings something that the Celtics desperately need more and I think neus kada could grow to be a better player than Dwight pow has already looked for for the Dallas Mavericks this season so

I think if the Celtics were to look to add any front Court depth already might as well just resign a guy in namus kada bring him onto the Boston Celtics and let him develop and actually grow for next season then training for a guy in Dwight Powell who’s just going to be

Your second or third bench Center and then after next year what do you do when you have Luke cornette and neis kada there do you look to move off of him does he look to go somewhere else do you look to trade him again it’s very very confusing in that situation honestly I

Think both of these guys could help the Boston Celtics but I realistically really like sadique Bay more as a better asset than Dwight Powell but I want to know your guys’ thoughts and opinions in the comment section down below like I mentioned the trade deadline is less

Than one week away and the Boston Celtics who want to get active and want to make a move in this Eastern Conference just keep them propelled at the top of the Eastern Conference it’s looking a little bit difficult for them we’ll have to see what they can get done

I’ll let you guys know that Josh Isaac and I most likely will be recording a video breaking down all of our trade deadline suggestions ahead of this week as well so if you want to make sure you stay up to date on that and more Boston Celtics content and coverage hit that

  1. I don't understand why the Boston Celtics have not already traded for Andre Drummond the guy practically complete the team

  2. Bey is a definite yes but FYI bruce he makes 4.5 M, not 6M. bey is also capable of offensive explosions if needed due to him dropping a 50 piece in his career. I'd be willing to give a 1st and a 2nd for bey. The reported asking price of atlanta for bey is 2 1sts or 1 1st and a good young player. We already went after him before the draft. They asked for PP and a 1st. Brad balked and the deal fell through. Maybe this time the asking price has dropped.

    Pass on powell. We could get better. Bad rebounder/defender in space. Heres my current top 5:

    1. jalen smith
    2. Santi aldama
    3. tari eason
    4. saddiq bey
    5. trendon watford

    all under grant tpe. All big wings/swings. All on losing teams who need extra picks.

  3. Cs should just use the TPE on Nick Richards, trade Svi and Stevens for Tori Eason or Zeke Nnaji and then tade Pritchard for Kuminga.

  4. The Boston celtics are looking to add some players to the boston celtics. The Boston celtics have a tpe which allows The Boston celtics to trade for a player not currently on The Boston celtics.The Boston celtics have a few names on their list who would be nice additions to The Boston celtics. I drank every time you said boston celtics.after they pumped my stomach I started to wonder why you do that?
