According to MassLive’s Brian Robb, the Boston Celtics may try to make a “sloppy trade” this offseason; explains why the front office will keep its roster spot open through the 2023-24 regular season.
“Unless there’s a surprise name later, the Celtics are expected to enter the season (draft night) with one roster,” Robb said, before saying, “It gives the front office the ability to make random trades during the season without making roster cuts, as well as additional flexibility.” to add depth in case of injuries.”
As Robb revealed, all partially guaranteed players are on the opening night roster.
“All players remaining on partial or non-guaranteed contracts (Dalano Banton, Svi Mykhailiuk, Luke Kornet, Lamar Stevens) should be on the opening night roster,” a source told MassLive, ruling out any late developments,” Robb wrote.
The suggestion of an “unequal trade” suggests a possible deal for the Boston Celtics
It’s possible that the Boston Celtics’ next big hit will see them part ways with the highest paid player. which means they also give up their best player. The unequal trade suggests two for one, and the C’s, who have an open roster, will likely make them recipients of the two.
Jaylen Brown, Kristaps Porzingis and Payton Pritchard cannot be part of such a two-way deal, due to Brown’s supermax extension, Porzingis’ two-year deal for 2024-25 and 2025-26, and Pritchard’s four-year MLE. -big contract.
Jayson Tatum almost certainly doesn’t either. Trading Jrue Holiday would mean giving up the team’s only former NBA championship, which probably won’t happen either.
That leaves Derrick White and Al Horford as potential trade candidates. Losing would hurt, but the C’s made aggressive moves for high-profile players at the same spot in the offseason, and there could be so many opportunities to win a championship with players like Brown and Tatum at their best.
