It’s no secret that Boston Celtics All-Star wings Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum need help if their team is going to stop its current tailspin, and while some of that will simply come from the team’s depth getting back to full health, popular Ringer analyst Kevin O’Connor thinks it needs to be a point of emphasis for Boston’s front office going into the 2021 NBA trade deadline.
O’Connor outlines the areas where Boston is most lacking — namely veteran leadership, ballhandling and an additional defensive specialist. Could the Celtics be better off seeking out the help of players like Larry Nance Jr. of the Cleveland Cavaliers, or the Oklahoma City Thunder’s George Hill, as a pair of examples?

Finding the right complimentary depth on multi-season, tradeable deals might be a better way to set the team up for the present AND the future, instead of waiting until the offseason rolls around and a hail-mary trade for a star not even on the horizon now to materialize.
Whatever the front office decides, it certainly has its work cut out for them — watch the video embedded above, and see if it changes your mind.
