For a team like the Boston Celtics, the 2021-22 season is one that is viewed as a hopeful redemption song.

After enduring one of their most disappointing campaigns in recent memory just last year, the Cs look to have more success moving forward with their revamped roster.

However, despite the fact that their rotation has been reshuffled quite a bit since June and, in turn, looks to already have them in a better position to see happier days, with Brad Stevens now running the show in the front office we likely have yet to see the last shakeup to this team take place.

With their several transactions made via the trade market this summer — which was kicked off by the deal that offloaded Kemba Walker’s contract –, there are many who believe that Boston’s decision-makers could easily be swayed once again to entertain a move made via this route and, with the assets they’ve managed to compile this offseason, it’s hard to argue against this logic.

Should they partake in this exciting endeavor again, across the league there are several players that could prove to be low-key great grabs for the Celtics, and we at the Houdini are here today to pinpoint 3 in specific:

Low-key great Boston Celtics target No. 1) Kyle Anderson

A highly versatile wing who currently finds himself being shopped by his respective ball club, Kyle Anderson is a player who could prove to be of great use for the Boston Celtics and who has already been linked to them as a potential TPE trade target.

Coming off of his best season as a pro with the Memphis Grizzlies, the seventh-year man out of UCLA posted solid per-game averages of 12.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.2 steals, and just shy of a block on 47 percent shooting from the floor and 36 percent shooting from deep.

In Anderson, the Cs would get a steady two-way presence to have come off the pine who can play either forward position and who can be a solid offensive option both in the scoring department and in the passing game as well.
