The Boston Celtics are a very good basketball team. Many (myself included) have them picked to win the NBA Finals. But that doesn’t mean they are a perfect team without any holes or needs. Today we’ll discuss what needs the team should address at the NBA trade deadline (or perhaps during the buyout period following the deadline). Note that as of December 15, most players that signed as free agents in the offseason can now be traded (thus unofficially marking the start of trade season).
While Brad Stevens hasn’t been shy about making moves to add significant players in the middle of the season, it would be surprising if he moved any of the top 6 to 8 players on the roster.
