Boston Celtics: 3 realistic trade targets to help form C’s next Big-3

Boston Celtics target No. 2) Myles Turner

Though perhaps not technically a “star” like his teammate found listed just before, due to his specific skill-set and on-court production we believe Myles Turner would easily become a tremendous third-option with the Boston Celtics.

A player fans have been clamoring for for seemingly years now, the 25-year-old center finds himself longing for a bigger role than the one the Pacers are currently giving him, and we believe the shamrocks could be the team to give him exactly what he’s looking for.

Seemingly a perfect fit alongside the Jays, Turner would provide almost exactly what a guy like Robert Williams currently does down at the five, but has proven to be a bit more consistent and can even help space the floor with his shooting touch which would be an absolute blessing for the C’s offense moving forward.

Currently having himself a phenomenal year-seven campaign, Turner finds himself posting per-game averages of 12.8 points, 7.4 rebounds, and a league-leading 2.9 blocks per game on 51 percent shooting from the floor and 37 percent shooting from deep.

With him as the starting center, the Boston Celtics would instantaneously be able to run a legitimate five-out set which, in turn, would likely help the team improve upon their 23rd ranked 3-point conversion rate whilst not having it negatively impact the rebounding efforts and defensive game that’s already being provided by Time Lord.

Again, while Myles Turner may not be a technical star in the league, he could easily prove to be one for the Cs due to his style of play and, considering he’d almost certainly cost less in a deal than his All-Star companion, perhaps pursuing the center makes more sense for Boston’s front office.
