Celtics' Most Realistic Trade Targets in 2024 Offseason | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors
Daniel Foster The Boston Celtics have arguably constructed the NBA's deepest and most talented roster.
There's a non-zero chance that whenever their offseason arrives, the answer to the annual inquiry of what this team needs will be a simple "nothing."
Even then, though, Boston might have a few wants on the wish list, whether that's another big man, extra shooting, wing depth or an additional playmaker. The Celtics have enough trade chips to afford any of the above, though actually getting a deal done could be tricky, since they could face strict roster-building restrictions by landing above the second apron.
Boston could easily encounter a scenario in which Payton Pritchard ($6.7 million salary next season, per Spotrac) or Jaden Springer ($4 million) are the only real money-matchers at its disposal. Bargain-hunting would almost certainly be a must, in other words, so let's scan the clearance section and see if we can pinpoint a few cost-effective targets who might be on the radar.
