Celtics trade rumors are starting to percolate; who might make sense for Boston?

Could larger forwards like Dean Wade, Chuma Okeke, Jarryd Vanderbilt, and Jaylen McDaniels make for realistic trade targets for the Celtics?

The Boston Celtics have raced out to an impressive 20-5 start to the 2022-23 NBA season. Even so, rumors are beginning to swirl about potential trades the team could make to bolster their roster. One name that has come up is Detroit Pistons big man Isaiah Stewart. Though the Celtics have reportedly shown interest, it’s unclear whether that interest is recent given the difficulties Boston would have trading for the center.

Could larger forwards like Dean Wade, Chuma Okeke, Jarryd Vanderbilt, and Jaylen McDaniels make for more realistic trade targets for the Celtics? What about centers with a more stout build like Nick Richards, or one in more of a small-ball mold like Precious Achiuwa?

The financial constraints on the team make any such moves especially tough for Boston, as was the intent in the league’s new CBA.
