The Boston Celtics might just end up with the Big Ragu on their roster by the time the dust settles on the 2022 NBA trade deadline. According to Celtics Blog’s Keith Smith, the Celtics and the Milwaukee Bucks “are still keeping in touch regarding a Dennis Schroder – Donte DiVincenzo swap” because “Milwaukee is a little worried about (point guard) depth with George Hill currently out.”
Still, Boston “won’t add players or picks to Schroder,” which is presumably the primary obstacle to getting DiVincenzo into a Celtics uniform. The 6-foot-4 shooting guard is a little bit of a downgrade in terms of scoring ability and also on a one-year contract, but Boston would get his Bird Rights and a player closer to the age curve of their primary core at 25 years old.
One way or another, the front office has until 3 pm ET today, Thursday Feb. 10 to start the call for any deals they want to make, so it won’t be long until this saga has a resolution of some sort.
The Bucks and Celtics are still keeping in touch regarding a Dennis Schroder-Donte DiVincenzo swap, sources tell @celticsblog. Milwaukee is a little worried about PG depth with George Hill currently out. Celtics won't add players or picks to Schroder, however.
