The Boston Celtics starting lineup buoyed the team throughout the entire postseason, with Gordon Hayward conspicuous by his absence. In lieu of that, here are 3 trades that retool the Cs second unit.

This offseason is one that is very different from the usual one. It is in November. We also don’t know when teams can trade again…but when they can, the Boston Celtics need to finally find the right deal for Gordon Hayward.

Considering the success the Cs had in the postseason down in the Lake Buena Vista bubble without him, perhaps the first thing to consider is strengthening the second unit, given Marcus Smart’s ascent into the starting lineup for the second season in a row.
