Report: Magic’s Aaron Gordon ‘not the only name the Celtics are chasing’

Boston is rumored to have several targets of serious interest.

Word on the street on the trade deadline front is that the Boston Celtics have more than one iron in the fire, as the old adage goes.

Monday night, it became clear the Celtics were trying to be players on the trade market in earnest when news the team was matching an offer by the Houston Rockets of two first round picks for Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon, with wing Evan Fournier a possible inclusion. Boston had been tied to other prospects as well over the prior 24 hours ranging from John Collins and Bogdan Bogdanovic of the Atlanta Hawks to Norman Powell of the Toronto Raptors and Nemanja Bjelica of the Sacramento Kings.

Now we are hearing they have multiple serious pursuits in mind.
