By Mark Nilon
As the trade deadline rapidly approaches, we will discuss 3 big-impact trades the Boston Celtics could still make to improve their roster.
The Boston Celtics have been on quite a roll as of late. Winning five of their last six contests — two of which were against the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat — the team finds themselves boasting an impressive 32-15 record and are owners of the Eastern Conference’s third seed.
They’re inline to have two of their players represent the organization in this year’s All-Star game and are on pace to reach the postseason for the sixth straight year.
In other words, it’s a good time to be a Boston Celtics fan.
Still, even with this, it must be stated that while the franchise is finding much success this season, they are far from being considered a “perfect unit.” From their underwhelming bench scoring production to their less-than intimidating center rotation, there are various areas on the roster that need improvements before they can realistically be seen as title favorites.
This is just when assessing the state of their current roster, however. There are many ways in which the team can gear themselves up for yet another deep playoff run this season, as well as in the future.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why we are here today.
With the NBA’s trade deadline of February 6th rapidly approaching, it would be wrong of us to not concoct potential deals that: 1) are realistic, 2) are reasonable and 3) would improve the Celtics title odds moving forward.
Having said that, here are 3 big-impact deals the Boston Celtics can make prior to the deadline.
