Why The Trade Would Benefit The Celtics
The Celtics made a run to the Eastern Conference Finals and were eliminated by the Miami Heat. They were dominated down low by players like Bam Adebayo. They entered the offseason with a need in the front-court, but could look to add another threat from deep.
Boston is led by Jayson Tatum, who has turned into one of the top players in the league. He is a mid-range dynamo and can create his own shot once he crosses half court.
The Celtics lack that true threat from three-point range. Buddy Hield has quickly turned into one of the best shooters in the league and would go a long way in improving the Celtics’ fortune from deep.
There is no doubt that the Celtics are ready to win. They have been ready for years now, but have not taken that next step. This is a chance for them to take advantage of a disgruntled player who wants out of his current situation.
