Celtics Target $23M Raptors Star in Trade Deal

As the NBA trade deadline approaches, the Boston Celtics are not expected to make major moves due to their strong current roster, though potential trades are being discussed. One such proposal involves acquiring star center Walker Kessler from the Utah Jazz, which would require trading more than a single first-round pick due to Kessler's high value. Another idea suggests adding Day'Ron Sharpe to bolster the frontcourt, providing insurance for Kristaps Porzingis's health concerns. Additionally, the Celtics could consider trading Jrue Holiday for Dejounte Murray to rejuvenate the squad with a younger guard. While the Lakers are also active, seeking to strengthen their roster for a playoff push, the Celtics' potential maneuvering is primarily about maintaining their championship contention while addressing vulnerabilities. Despite these speculations, Boston remains one of the favorites to win the title even without any new trades.
