The Boston Celtics are one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference. They are coming off an Eastern Conference Finals appearance and are looking to take the next step this NBA season. They could do so by adding a sharpshooter out on the perimeter.
The Celtics are led by the duo of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. They are one of the top groups in the NBA but could improve further if they decide to add a three-point threat. They have plenty of scorers who can dominate the mid-range game and get to the basket.
Kemba Walker runs the point and keeps the offense in line. Boston has been in win-now mode for years now and is waiting to take that next step.
The Oklahoma City Thunder are in the complete opposite position. They were sellers during the offseason. Chris Paul was sent to the Phoenix Suns while Dennis Schroder is now in Los Angeles with the Lakers. Oklahoma City has put themselves in a position to use their NBA Draft capital moving forward in other deals or to add prospects. Mike Muscala could be the next name on the move in this deal.
The Celtics could be the next team to benefit from a trade with Oklahoma City. Here is what a potential trade might look like.
