3 Boston Celtics players now reportedly expendable following Bol Bol trade

The Boston Celtics made a rather surprising deal Wednesday night that landed them two rather intriguing commodities in Bol Bol and PJ Dozier from the Denver Nuggets.

With this transaction, the shamrocks have officially kicked off their trade season in a small, yet seriously intriguing fashion due to the potential that a healthy Bol possesses (7-2 with a 7-8 wingspan who can handle the ball and space the floor), but, looking at the state of the C’s roster, more moves must be made should they wish to get their pedestrian season moving in the right direction and, according to recent rumblings, they could be coming sometime soon.

In a recent piece by Jared Weiss of The Athletic (subscription required), it was suggested that Dennis Schroder, Josh Richardson, and Al Horford could be the most likely pieces to be shipped out following Boston’s recent trade, with the latter being someone they believe could have more value than his remaining $53.5 million price tag may have you believe:

"“Only $14.5 million of his $26.5 million salary is guaranteed next season, making him potentially attractive to teams looking to move off long-term money or take on his salary for an additional asset,” said Weiss."

As has been known for quite some time now, Schroder is a player who has been linked to the trade rumor mill essentially since day one of his tenure with the Boston Celtics, and things have only managed to heat up since showing how effective he is when serving as a starter, as he’s averaging 18.8 points, 5.1 assists, and 3.8 rebounds on 48 percent shooting from the floor and 37 percent shooting from deep in said role.

Now, it is being reported that the C’s are open to potentially moving two other players as well in Richardson and Horford.

As we move closer to February 10th’s trade deadline, we can expect to continue seeing the Boston Celtics linked as being a quality trade partner for a plethora of ball clubs that are looking to make a move, and these three players, in specific, could prove to be interesting draws in their own right.
