Though the Boston Celtics weren’t involved in the biggest news of the weekend — the trade sending Bradley Beal from the Washington Wizards to the Phoenix Suns — they very well could reap the rewards of the deal’s repercussions.
As part of the deal, Phoenix sent Chris Paul to Washington. Paul — who the Suns were reported be looking to move earlier this month — has been previously linked to the Celtics. Once the trade was reported, those rumors once again reared their head. According to The Action Network’s Matt Moore, Boston is expected to be amongst the rumored destinations for the 12-time NBA All-Star, should he be bought out by the Wizards.
