5 potential targets for the Celtics ahead of the NBA trade deadline

The NBA trade deadline of Thursday, Feb. 6, is quickly approaching.

While the Celtics likely won’t do anything drastic to alter their core, it’s possible they’ll make a small move or two with the hopes of bolstering their bench.

Here are five players they could possibly consider, based on fit, skill set, and contract requirements.

Santi Aldama, Grizzlies forward

Santi Aldama, a 7-foot, 215-pound power forward averaging 12.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 2.7 assists, would fit perfectly with the Celtics.

He’s shooting 49.2 percent from the floor and 36.9 percent from 3-point range. He’ll become a restricted free agent this offseason, so if the Grizzlies want to avoid paying him a sizable amount, they could make a move.
