Do the Boston Celtics need a two-way playmaker at the NBA’s 2024 trade deadline?

An argument can be made a playmaker with size is lacking.

The Boston Celtics have been steamrolling most of the other ball clubs in the NBA so far this season, with a few key exceptions giving the team trouble. Those teams tend to be long athletic, and disruptive — or know how to get under the Celtics skin in ways that make them their own worst enemy.

And when Boston gets tight on the offensive end, they tend to lean onto ISO-heavy styles of play that have done them no favors in the past. An argument can be made that in those moments, a little more playmaking might be the answer.

This is the tack taken by Bleacher Report’s Zach Buckley, who suggests getting a two-way playmaker ahead of the league’s 2024 trade deadline.
