Boston Celtics: 2 last minute offseason deals to consider

Why the Boston Celtics do it

Facundo Campazzo is an intriguing veteran backup option that could prove useful should Dennis Schroder not gel with new head coach Ime Udoka and find himself on the outs by the trade deadline. The Argentinian made a name for himself on the Olympic level by challenging guys like Chris Paul head-on and playing tough-nosed defense while maintaining good pace and tempo as the floor general.

Zeke Nnaji is somewhat of a throw-in, but the second-year man had a nice showing from beyond the arc in his rookie season.

Why the Denver Nuggets do it

The additional pick for Denver is intriguing, but so is the idea of Carsen Edwards finding his shot once more after an explosive career at Purdue. It’s been a disappoining run for Edwards in green after he seemingly lost his shot at the beginning of the 2019-20 season following a scorching hot Summer League and preseason.

Kris Dunn could be a factor on defense if healthy, and could find himself upping his scoring and efficiency playing alongside the reigning MVP Nikola Jokic. This could be a low-risk, high-upside gamble for the Nuggets if the two guards can find new life in the Mile High City.
