Boston Celtics Receive: G Terrence Ross
Orlando Magic Receive: G Romeo Langford, 2022 First-Round Pick

The Boston Celtics have been going through an underachieving start to the 2021-22 season and have a clear set of needs to address.

One of the key issues the Celtics face when watching their half-court offense is the team’s lack of pure shooters. There is too much passing that ends in what should have been an open look off the catch bust instead was turned down instead for a drive to the rim.

Ross is an efficient catch-and-shoot threat that has shown during his time with the Orlando Magic that he’s not going to hesitate to let it fly.

Not only is Ross an aggressive catch-and-shoot threat, but he is also proficient enough to be involved in off-ball screening actions — something that cannot be said about most players on the roster.
