Yesterday\u2019s big trade finally solved the glaring issue of needing more center depth (with all due respect to Queta and Garza). It cost the Celtics some guard depth though. So will the team make another move to add a backup guard or go with what they have?<\/p>\n
In theory Jayson Tatum coming back gives the Celtics the scoring punch that they are losing with Simons heading out. While Simons wasn\u2019t exactly a \u201cball handler\u201d or \u201cdistributor,\u201d he was at least capable of bringing the ball up on occasion. Here again, Tatum (at nearly full speed) can help out in this regard.<\/p>\n
Still, it would be nice to have a guy that can give us some point guard minutes in a pinch. Maybe that guy can be found in the buyout market (Mike Conley? CP3?). Or maybe there\u2019s someone kicking around the G-League that could use a call-up.<\/p>\n
Or maybe there\u2019s another deal out there that Brad is looking into. I\u2019m not sure why the Bulls seem to have a team full of guards and couldn\u2019t throw one of them our way in yesterday\u2019s deal (well, technically they haven\u2019t completed the deal yet and could expand it in the coming days). After a relatively quiet month, things sure are picking up lately.<\/p>\n
So what do you think? Is Brad done dealing before the deadline? Or is he going to keep making moves?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Yesterday\u2019s big trade finally solved the glaring issue of needing more center depth (with all due respect to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":578076,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3766],"tags":[7,45,75,65415,11822,3798,46,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-581967","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boston-celtics","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-boston","10":"tag-boston-celtics","11":"tag-boston-celtics-discussion","12":"tag-boston-celtics-rumors","13":"tag-bostonceltics","14":"tag-celtics","15":"tag-nba"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116012832773802810","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/581967","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=581967"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/581967\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/578076"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=581967"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=581967"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=581967"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
