The Boston Celtics are likely looking to make moves ahead of the 2022 NBA trade deadline and with that in mind, more than a handful of analysts and front offices both are trying to value what the best players the team has available that could reasonably be pried loose to improve another roster.
Sam Vecenie, Seth Partnow, and Danny Leroux of The Athletic got together and did exactly this for the entire league, and a pair of Celtics made the list of what the panel deems as “the players who might move at the deadline who could most impact the remainder of this season, as well as position teams for the future.”
The trio looked at the “player’s impact should he be traded, our evaluation of the likelihood of a trade occurring, the “asset value” of the player on his current contract and the level of compensation likely demanded by the player’s current team as part of the swap,” so let’s see how they view this pair of Celtics on the trade market.
It was a synergetic relationship that powered the Banner 17 title team. https://t.co/FCsPT8xyjz
