Why The Trade Would Benefit The Celtics

The Celtics are a win-now team and have been for many years. We have seen many different generations of players come through Boston.

Now, it is about building around Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Kemba Walker is a name that has been mentioned in trade rumors, but nothing has happened as of now.

Boston could use help on the perimeter. PJ Tucker is a spot-up shooter who can find an opening to get a quick shot off. In Houston, he could be seen in the corner waiting for Harden to get in the lane and kick it out. That is what he could bring to Boston.

Tucker is a career 36.1% three-point shooter. During his time as a Rocket, he has built a reputation for his game. Tucker is a bulldog player who plays strong defense and can also rebound.

This would give Boston another threat on both ends. It would go a long way towards completing their rotation and making it deeper. Also, the Celtics would not have to give up much in this trade so it is a low-risk, high-reward move.
