On any NBA trade deadline, there are always roster crunch casualties who are good players who find themselves cut by their current team in order to make room for new, better players who have been dealt to their ball club.
And such is the case at the league’s 2024 trade deadline, with veteran Philadelphia 76ers wing Danuel House. Having been cut to make room for a buyout candidate, presumably Philadelphia native Kyle Lowry if he is cut after having been dealt to the Charlotte Hornets earlier this month, House is now a free agent himself.
The Boston Celtics are among teams who could use some additional veteran wing depth; should they try to sign the 30-year-old, 6-foot-6 wing?

If they did, they would need their last open a roster spot.
House’s 3-point shot (30.0% this season) has not been great, but as a career 35.% shot from deep who has put up 4.2 points and 1.7 boards per game with the 76ers this season, a world where adding House for additional wing depth could make sense.
