For months now, we have been insinuating that the Boston Celtics should seriously consider making moves in an effort to bolster their roster to combat the firepower that their fellow title-contending teams possess.
From buyout market targets to players worth considering using their historically large TPE on, the Houdini has made it abundantly clear that there are plenty of routes Danny Ainge can take should he wish to add more talent to their rotation.
Recently, Shams Charania of The Athletic broke to the Twitterverse that veteran sharpshooter JJ Redick was reportedly being shopped by the New Orleans Pelicans, and the team’s General Manager David Griffin was targeting included the likes of the shamrocks.
Sources: The Pelicans are focusing on northeast teams — 76ers, Nets, Celtics — as potential trade destination for 15-year veteran JJ Redick.

Recently, we brought up the idea of the Celtics dealing for Redick, citing his floor spacing expertise and experience as reasons the team could be interested.
Are the Boston Celtics a realistic destination for JJ Redick?
In response to this news by Charania, fans took to their social media platforms and shared their own opinions on the hypothetical scenario. Their views were often quite conflicting, with some thinking it’s a great idea while others simply scoffed at the notion.

He’d be nice cause they need a consistent 3 point focused guard. But... 36 is a bit old although age hasn’t slowed down his production. I’d give up like some picks and use the TPE. I don’t think he’s worth any player on the roster because they’re a lot younger and can grow.

Who’s right in this situation, Boston Celtics fans?!
Would it be smart to deal for JJ Redick? Should they avoid him at all costs?
