Boston Celtics
The Boston Celtics have arguably been the best team in the league during the second half of the season and defense has elevated them to be a championship contender this season.
How far Boston goes in the playoffs is yet to be seen, but heading into the offseason, Brad Stevens and this front-office will be looking for more ways to add talent.
Not only do the Celtics need to figure out their second-unit and their bench, but Boston has never been afraid to pursue other All-Stars available in trade talks.
Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown do everything for this team, which is why adding a third star to create another “Big 3” in the Eastern Conference could be very appealing to the Boston Celtics.

Neither Celtics’ star will be on the move anytime soon, but Al Horford’s $26.5 million contract is definitely a contract the Celtics will be looking to move in the offseason and they could also entertain the idea of moving either Marcus Smart or Derrick White for another high-level All-Star.
Not to mention, the Boston Celtics have a ton of trade exceptions that they can use in the offseason, most notably their $17 million exception that expires in July. Boston has many exceptions and moveable contracts to pull off a big move, which is why we should not count the Celtics out from pulling off a blockbuster deal in the offseason.
