The Boston Celtics got off to quite an underwhelming start to their 2021-22 campaign, constantly finding themselves sporting a sub-.500 through their first few months of action.

However, since the calendar year flipped to 2022, Ime Udoka’s squad has seemingly flipped a switch as they have been playing lights out since the start of January, and now, as of this writing, the C’s find themselves boasting a winning record of 28-25 while also being victors of five of their last six outings and 12 of their last 18.

Now, though things certainly look to be heading in the right direction for the shamrocks, ultimately if they wish to thrust themselves back into legitimate playoff contention status within the Eastern Conference, Brad Stevens and co. must consider making some shakeups to their talent pool to better their odds.

Luckily for them, trade season is currently approaching its apex, which means, should the front office actually be interested in making moves, now would be the time to do so.

A little while back, it was reported that, of the many players found on Boston’s roster, there were 3, in particular, that they could be looking to move prior to February 10th’s deadline: Dennis Schroder, Al Horford, and Josh Richardson.

In response, we at HH have gone about and discussed potential landing spots for the former two talents and now all that is left in our series is to discuss where the latter could realistically find himself suiting up for next if actually dealt.
