2 offseason trades Boston Celtics must make if they win 2022 NBA Finals

Boston Celtics offseason trade No. 2) C’s finally get proper wing depth

If you didn’t see this hypothetical exchange coming…shame on you.

His face was literally on the cover of this article for God’s sake!

Now, as we alluded to earlier, should the Boston Celtics win the NBA Championship this season they should really try to keep the majority of their core intact heading into next year’s campaign and, with this, should only be looking to make low-key transactions during the summer in an effort to not significantly tamper with the arrangement that worked so well in 2021-22.

When it comes to this team, no low-key transaction discussion can be complete without Terrence Ross’s name being mentioned for, at least to us at the site, he is one of the most ideal additions the C’s could potentially bring on.

Despite Boston’s impressive campaign, they still find themselves with some glaring weaknesses within their rotation, with arguably the biggest one being offensive production off the pine.

Finishing off the regular season ranking just 26th in both bench points per game and Offensive Rating, while also ranking in at third-worst in bench points and second-worst in Offensive Rating in this year’s postseason, it’s evident that this unit could use for a legitimate scoring option to come and bolster their production in this area of the game.

Perhaps that option could be Ross.

Since 2019 the veteran wing has found himself posting per-game averages of 13.8 points on 35 percent shooting from deep (on 6.2 attempts) to go along with 3.2 boards, 1.7 assists, and just shy of a steal whilst predominantly coming off the bench.

Adding a player via the Evan Fournier TPE who can go out and buy a bucket in isolation sets, when off-ball in catch-and-shoot scenarios, or when at the rim off lobs thanks to his impressive athleticism could prove to be a blessing for this team and, being he’s someone who can play any position from the two to a small-ball four, he could be a fantastic backup for both Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum.
