Boston Celtics: 2 stars we could see C’s pairing Jayson Tatum with one day

The NBA of today is a star-driven league, and one of these two stars could one day make their way to the Boston Celtics and join forces with Jayson Tatum.

It’s been 64 gloomy days without Boston Celtics or any other NBA basketball, but to us at the Houdini — as well as, I’m sure, for yourselves — it’s felts like an eternity.

With this in mind, we’ve compiled a list of two names we believe could realistically one day find their way to Beantown to, in large, join forces with Boston’s most promising young star:
