Boston Celtics team president Danny Ainge recently revealed that he thinks the team needs to go after ‘shooting with size’ on a recent episode of the popular New England sports radio show “Toucher and Rich”.
And with over seven weeks of the 2020-21 NBA season behind us, we are starting to get a clearer picture of which teams might be buyers and sellers at the Mar. 25 trade deadline, a few weeks perhaps before being where Ainge thinks the best time to strike may be.
