With under 10 days remaining, the NBA’s trade season is entering its final stretch and, while the Boston Celtics have gone about and already made a deal back in mid-January, it most certainly was not of the magnitude that fans and media pundits alike believe they need to make in order to turn their pedestrian season around.

Despite coming into the 2021-22 season with rather high expectations, the C’s have only been able to muster up a slightly above .500 record of 27-25 through 52 games played, stationing them down in the ninth seed out in the Eastern Conference standings.

To put it lightly, this team has not lived up to expectations, and now, as we approach the deadline it’s clear that, should they wish to get back on track, they’ll need to be a bit more active on the trade market in an effort to bring on a much-needed complementary difference-maker to have run alongside the likes of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.

Though there are still quite a few different ideas pertaining to who Brad Stevens and co. will be looking to bring aboard between now and February 10th, there appears to be somewhat of a consensus belief that there are three players, in particular, that the front office is already considering offloading, with the most intriguing name to prospective buyers being Dennis Schroder.

Despite playing rather well during his stint thus far with the shamrocks, due to the fact that he only signed to a one-year deal this past offseason it is almost certain that the veteran point guard will be looking to cash in and sign elsewhere once 2022’s free agency period hits which, in turn, would mean that the Celtics would be losing their highly productive talent for absolutely nothing.

Because of this, many are under the impression that, in order to prevent this hypothetical from becoming a reality, Boston’s decision-makers should look into dealing him this trade season so they can at least get something in return before he jumps ship later on down the road.

With this in mind, today we at the Houdini will pinpoint 2 potentially realistic trade destinations for Dennis Schroder:
