Four potential Boston Celtics targets as the 2021-22 trade market begins to heat up

Recent reports suggest these players could be on the move.

With December 15th just around the corner and many if not most teams in the league interested as the Boston Celtics likely are in making moves on the trade market to improve their fortunes in the 2021-22 season and beyond, trade rumors are beginning to percolate.

Let’s take a look at some of the better options for the Celtics discussed by Charania.
