The Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers are two teams who are in different situations but are each facing underachieving results during the 2021-22 NBA season.

For the Celtics, they have franchise-cornerstones to build around long-term with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. However, Boston has one of the NBA’s worst bench units and needs more firepower in the supporting cast to take a step forward as a team.

On the other hand, the Pacers lack the necessary star power to win at a high-level in an improved Eastern Conference and do not appear to have a favorable outlook to add such a talent.

While the Pacers do not want to undergo a rebuilding process (based on the owner’s comments), Indiana still could benefit from making a trade involving one of their two big men.
