Celtics Planning SNEAKY Trade With Utah Jazz…

The Boston Celtics have a major trade piece ahead of this trade deadline and no it is not a player but it is a traded player exception that they received last off season last year the Boston Celtics let go of Grant Williams for a traded player exception worth $6.25 million and

Two second round picks and in this video we’re going to be breaking down some potential guys that the Celtics could go after using that traded player exception from last off season all of that and more on this episode of Celtics digest I’m Bruce FZ but before we dive into

A jam-packed one and in this episode we’re going to be looking at three more potential trade targets for the Boston Celtics to be looking at ahead of the trade deadline happening this Thursday now like I mentioned the most likelihood of a Boston Celtics trade happening is with the Grant Williams traded player

Exception that the Boston Celtics received last off season now the Celtics have other contracts that they’re able to move but they’re very very small at the $2 million rank with guys like Spa huk Lamar Stevens and Banton and not a lot of teams want those guys because

Like for the Boston Celtics they don’t really play that much and for those teams if they were even to be on a young rebuilding team they’d be kind of end of The rosters they’re not that you know young and hyped up young stars but also if they were on a contending team they

Wouldn’t be getting that much Limelight either just because those they’re not the best players on a contending team so therefore these guys are kind of just stuck on this Boston Celtics roster being those help as injury guys and having to show up when their number is called but with the Boston Celtics not

Being able to trade any of those guys and obviously having a lot of their money tied up in Jaylen Brown Jason Tatum Al Horford Derek white christops porzingis and Drew holiday the Celtics kind of have no contracts to be tradable the only contract that can kind of be tradable is the Payton Pritchard

Contract and that has a poison pill activation which means that if the Boston Celtics were to trade said contract it would go up in price for the team receiving it and the Boston Celtics would be taking less in return therefore it is a little bit of a disaster to kind

Of work with the poison pill contract and getting a deal done with it so the Boston Celtics if they are to move off of pton briard would most likely look to do it next offseason so like I mentioned the only really tradable piece is the traded player exception which you can

Bring in either one player or multiple players that equal that $6.25 million and the Celtics can attach multiple second round picks or even a first round pick if they want from their draft stock this year that they could go off to get a said player said player comes into the

Uh salary free of charge no adding to the tax they come in the TP is already valued for the Boston Celtics and then said player would be able to continue There run with the Celtics push for a championship and possibly even resign next year so let’s look at the three

Potential guys that could be making their way to Boston the first one is Simone fonio now Simone fonio plays for the Utah Jazz and is a solid small forward SL power forward for them honestly the most run that I saw from Simone fonio was from when Lori Marin

Went down he played a little bit of a stretch four for them and he actually looked like a wing pce for them he’s had some great lineups as well with Lori marinan and John Collins also playing with Lori marinan and Walker Kesler fitting in at that three four rail role

And being you know a solid shooter for this Utah Jazz team if we want to look at his stats nineo total points 3.5 total rebounds and 1.4 assists off of 41 after 45% shooting which is up from his career at 41% and 39% three point shooting compared up to from his 36%

Last year with 80% free throw shooting so Simone f Kio kind of finding his rhythm with his shot for the Utah Jazz this season and actually looking like a nice piece he is a restricted free agent so if the Boston Celtics were to go after him and acquire him they could

Match his deal if someone were to offer him anything outrageous in the summer or the Boston Celtics go to go after this guy kind of bring him in to help out with Sam Hower in that role I know a lot of Celtics fans like myself really like

Sam Hower as he’s grown to be this you know solid wing for the Boston Celtics but some people in the comments and some people in the Boston Community aren’t really that sold on Sam Hower yet so maybe a guy like Simone fonio who has a little bit of that veteran experience at

Around 28 years old and already you know having the NBA Limelight underneath him maybe you feel a little bit more confident with an NBA ready guy at that position in Simone fonio kind of helping out and playing a similar role with Sam with Sam Hower at that 34 position let

Me know what you guys think in the comment section down below about Simone I don’t mind him I think he could be a a big help to the Celtics but like I just mentioned I think Sam Hower is already a guy in Simone that are very similar and

I think we already have that type of role player on our team the next guy that we’re going to be looking at is Reggie Bullock now this is kind of ironic as the Celtics could have actually acquired Reggie Bullock last year in that Grant Williams deal if you

Guys do not know the Celtics did not want to take a contract back for Grant Williams the whole reason they took the traded player exception was to give them some flexibility at the deadline there was a guy underperforming or a guy on a cheap contract that needed a you know

Some more playing time or was ready for a championship roster the Celtics could go out and acquire him instead of you know having to just take whoever was on from the Dallas Mavericks contract therefore a three- team deal had to be formed to get this Grant Williams deal

Done Reggie block was sent to San Antonio immediately waved and then the Boston Celtics were interested in bringing him back after he got waved wanted to bring him on a cheaper deal didn’t really like Reggie bolock at that 11 to 12 million unfortunately for the Boston Celtics he went to the Houston

Rockets where former Boston head coach mayoka was and he hasn’t really gotten that much run over there in Houston if we want to look at his stats you guys can see this season 20 games played 2.4 points 1.4 rebounds 0.5 assists shooting numbers are down 40% from the field 38%

From three and 100% from the free throw range now my honest opinion on Reggie Bullock is I think he’s a solid Wing Defender and I think he be a very nice piece but honestly do I really think he has a role for the Celtics team I don’t

Know I think he can kind of be with o sha brette and Lamar Stevens already are for this Boston Celtics team and they already are on 1 million $2 million deals so I don’t see the necessary fit for going after another Wing playing that similar role at the same amount of

Money when we already have two guys that play that role on this roster now I think Reggie bolock you know kind of deserves to be on a championship contending team this Rockets team that he’s on has a bunch of young Wings we can talk about Jabari Smith talk about

Cam Whitmore T een Zen Brooks they they just resigned so this team doesn’t have any room for Reggie block clearly showning in his point per averages as he barely plays 20 points and two 2.4 points therefore I do think regie Bullock needs to find a home to be a

Veteran guy to you know kind of help on in that championship roster he can be an eighth 910th man just being a solid Wing Defender and you know maybe stretching out and hitting the three at a time do I think the fit could be nice yes but

Honestly I think the Celtics like I mentioned in the first trade already have a similar player in Reggie boock on this roster and lastly the next guy we’re going to be talking about is Otto Porter Jr who’s had a little bit of a lackluster career ever since he won that

Chip with Golden State versus the Boston Celtics and having a big integral role with that team went down with an injury with the Toronto Raptors last season and this season ever since he’s been back hasn’t really gotten that much playing time working back from that injury with

The Raptors also having a log Jam of forwards and also kind of figure out what direction they want to go in as well dealing Pascal seak dealing ojan anobi some of these veteran guys like Oto Porter thus young are definitely going to be looked to be on the move and

The Celtics could be a home for AO Porter if we want to look at his stats 2.6 points one 1.9 total rebounds .5 assists of 42% shooting and 35% shooting from three those numbers have drastically gone down for auto porter but honestly his injury history has kind

Of made him less likely available this guy I don’t mind auto porter I think like I mentioned like Reggie block I think he could be a solid Wing Defender for the Celtics team playing that 34 position he’s lost a little bit of a step with his injury history but I still

Think he could be a decent piece for the Boston Celtics do I think the Celtics will go after and throw all their trade chips to go at a guy AO Porter no I don’t think so just because his injury history is a little bit up there I don’t

Know if he’d be a best fit for the Boston Celtics in order I would rank Sante Simone fonio as the best option and I would say OT Porter is the worst with Reggie bulock being in the middle I think all these options could help out the Boston Celtics But ultimately I

Don’t think they’re the key position help that the Boston Celtics need do I think that Simone fonio Reggie Bullock and a Porter Jr could bring some life to the Celtics bench for sure and we def desperately need to see that with auto porter having a little bit of injury

History regie Bullock not really looking the same ever since being the bio I don’t really realistically know if I want those guys Simone let’s see and let’s see how I feel about him watching some Utah Jazz games and then we’ll talk about it but let me know your guys’

Thoughts and opinions in the comment section down below out of these three guys who would you like the Boston Celtics to get and if none of these three guys really entertain you let me know in the comment section who you want the Boston Celtics to utilize for that Grant Williams traded player exception

We saw Brad Stevens last season us on a guy in Mike ncala a low-end contract who didn’t really realistically help out this Boston Celtics team late into the playoffs so we could see another move like that as well maybe possibly a John Contra or something like that got to

Keep your eyes open with Brad Stevens but thank you guys so much for tuning into this episode of Celtics digest I’m Bruce valz and I’ll catch you guys in the next video peace out
