Is Hawks Marco Belinelli a back-up plan for Celtics?

As I write this the NBA trade deadline is 34 hours away. The Atlanta Hawks are tied with the Dallas Mavericks for the worst record in the league at 17/37 and have no reason to retain Marco Belinelli. They have notified Marco that he is on the trading block and will be sifting through offers.

The Hawks have informed veteran sharpshooter Marco Belinelli that he is on course to be traded by Thursday's 3 p.m. deadline, league sources say. Atlanta said to still be weighing its options in terms of exactly where it will send him with multiple teams interested

The 6'5" Belinelli is approaching his 32nd birthday and is a known sharpshooter.
