Outcome for Boston Celtics No. 3) Cs sign another star

Like I alluded to a little earlier, Bradley Beal will not be the only star hitting the market during the summer of 2022, and I don’t just mean free agency.

There’s a chance a disgruntled star asks out next offseason and the Boston Celtics have equipped themselves to free whoever that may be.

Notable names include De’Aaron Fox, Karl-Anthony Towns, or even Zion Williamson.

Two of these three aforementioned studs have not seen the playoffs yet, and their front offices have failed to surround them with the talent to do so.

In this case, either of the three stars could demand a trade and, with the Celtics looking like the most attractive place for them, Brad Stevens could swoop in and create a Big-3.

With Robert Williams, Marcus Smart, Aaron Nesmith, and all their picks for the next decade, the Boston Celtics have the bargaining chips to pry any young star from their unfavorable location.

The Cs would be heading towards a similar path if they singed Bradley Beal with a lot of money committed to three guys but with a formidable Big-3.

This scenario is the least likely to happen, but one Brad Stevens and the Boston Celtics should be prepared for.
