New B/R mock trade sees Boston Celtics swap frontcourt players with Sacramento Kings

Would such a swap make sense for both sides?

The Boston Celtics have some work to do on their frontcourt rotations if they truly want to make the leap to contender status, and while it seems unlikely such a leap would be made at the 2022 NBA trade deadline based on the chatter percolating up through the league, it is also not out of the question should the right deal come along for all the teams involved.

And to that end, Bleacher Report analyst Greg Swartz believes he has found such a trade for the Celtics and the Sacramento Kings. The proposed deal unites a longtime target of Boston with the team that has been looking to add him to their roster since the Danny Ainge era while getting younger and deeper in the process.

Let’s take a look at the trade Swartz has in mind for the Celtics.
