Despite being the far-less experienced team in this year’s NBA Finals matchup, the Boston Celtics find themselves up 2-1 in this best-of-seven series against the Golden State Warriors and, in turn, are just two wins away from hoisting banner No. 18 up into the rafters back at TD Garden.

It may be still rather hard for some to believe that this is where things have come, being that, just a few months back the C’s were a mere 20-21 and stationed on the outside looking in on a playoff spot but, alas, here we are!

Now, with Game 4 approaching (on Boston’s home floor, nonetheless) and with momentum on their side, Ime Udoka’s squad has a legitimate chance to go up 3-1 and take things back to the Bay Area for Game 5 on Monday evening where, in theory, they could close things out and take on the moniker of NBA Champions once again.

Of course, there’s still plenty that could transpire between now and the end of this series and, knowing the dynastic Dubs, they won’t make accomplishing this ultimate feat easy for the shamrocks, but, for entertainment’s sake, let’s jump the gun a bit here and say the organization heads into the offseason as title winners.

With this outcome, obviously, the ultimate goal on Brad Stevens’ to-do list would be to try and set this team up for sustained success moving forward and, with this objective, the front office could go about trying to accomplish this in many different ways.

No matter what, come tip-off to the 2022-23 campaign we’re bound to see a few noteworthy transactions take place, be it by means of the draft, free agency, or, everyone’s favorite, the trade market.

Should the team’s decision-makers opt to embark on this latter route of wheeling and dealing, we at HH believe the Boston Celtics should strongly consider partaking in 2 specific exchanges during the offseason:
