The Boston Celtics are a win-now team and that showed during the restart. They made a run to the Eastern Conference Finals but lost to the Miami Heat. Heading into the upcoming NBA season, the Celtics could look to add some pieces for a run. Could the Chicago Bulls be helpful in that pursuit?
Boston needs help at the center position. They were dominated by Bam Adebayo and that is one of the reasons why they were eliminated prior to the Finals. The Celtics have a core of stars that will keep them competitive but in this deal, they will add another that will help take them to that championship level.
There is going to be a need to have impactful on-ball defenders on the wing in the Eastern Conference with Kevin Durant returning to the lineup. It wouldn’t hurt to maximize the help defense capabilities of the unit either. This deal makes that happen for the Celtics.
The Bulls are in a rebuild. They need to stock expiring contracts and draft capital from teams in contention. This will allow them to rebuild quickly and add some young talent. The Celtics are the perfect trade partners if that is what the Bulls are trying to do.
This deal has a lot of moving parts but it fits within the plan for each the Boston Celtics and Chicago Bulls. Let’s take a look at what a potential deal might look like.
