Celtics seen as having fifth-best trade assets in the NBA

“Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown seem like bets to stick in Boston for the long run, but if things change they could net a haul in a trade for either of them,” writes HoopsHype.

The Boston Celtics are both a younger team and one of the if not the best team in the league early in the 2022-23 NBA season, so it should probably not surprise one to learn they have among the best collection of assets they can trade in terms of player contracts and draft assets.

So much so that the Celtics are seen as a top-five team in that regard by HoopsHype NBA analyst Yossi Gozlan, who pegs Boston as the team with the fifth-best collection of trade assets in the league in a recent article surveying the state of the league’s trade assets.

“Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown seem like bets to stick in Boston for the long run, but if things change they could net a haul in a trade for either of them,” writes Gozlan.
