Haynes: Celtics may part with Thompson; Raptors possible landing spot

Tristan Thompson could be on the move, perhaps to his native Toronto.

It seems like there is a good chance the Tristan Thompson era of the Boston Celtics could be coming to a close based on recent reporting from Yahoo Sports’ Chris Haynes.

The NBA insider relates that the Celtics may “trade their starting center by the March 25 trade deadline, with the Toronto Raptors being a possible destination”. And while most trade rumors ought to be taken with a grain of salt at this time of year, with Boston’s frontcourt crunch having forced head coach Brad Stevens into a plan moving forward of juggling minutes to only play two of the team’s three starting-caliber big men moving forward, a trade seems all but certain.
