In case you didn't know, the Boston Celtics are interested in trading for a game-changing type of player.
Pretty much the entire NBA has been aware of this since the Celtics started stock-piling assets in an effort to set themselves up to land a great player. Aside from getting Al Horford, the Celtics have largely been left with a slew of assets and not much to show for it.
As the process continues, a name coming up in reports that the Celtics may be interested in targeting is the Pelicans‘ Anthony Davis.
“But I’m told the Celtics at this point are only interested in potential “game changers” on the trade market. One name to keep an eye on is New Orleans’ Anthony Davis. The only way Davis will come into play is if Davis wants out, something that isn’t that far-fetched when you consider the steady run of injuries he’s enduring on a team that’s going nowhere fast. The Celtics have draft picks galore, young talent with very team-friendly contracts and being in the East, that would mean the Pelicans would only see Davis twice a season.”
The demise of the Pelicans this season may cause Davis to think about getting out. And he'd have to really push for it for the Pelicans to even consider such a thought.
“But again, it all depends on whether Davis wants out of New Orleans. That doesn’t appear to be his desire . . . for now at least.”
There's no question Boston would want Davis. The only question is if things get bad enough in New Orleans where a Davis trade becomes a possibility. We're not there yet, but perhaps it's something to keep an eye on.
