The Celtics are one of the most famous giants in NBA history. They were the first team to join the NBA and one of the pioneers of the entire league. They have an extremely glorious team history and countless basketball stars, but in recent years, their performance has been unsatisfactory, and they have gradually lost their position as the league's hegemon. Even their most proud 17th in team history was tied with the Lakers who came from behind. In fact, they have had a good team lineup and championship potential in recent years, but they have never been able to build a true championship team, and they are always on the verge of the playoffs. For them, in this era, the formation of a superstar-level team is the most critical and the most basic to win the championship. The Bucks, who just won the championship, have only Giannis Antetokounmpo as a star on the surface. In fact, Middleton and the next No. 1 are all-star players. The Suns entering the finals are also a tri-core team. The Celtics also understand that Gemini alone cannot promise the team to win the championship.
Recently, the US media "FW" revealed a deal that the Celtics can choose. The Celtics can make a 3+1 for 1 trade, using the team's Smart, Longford and Naismith, and a future first-round pick of the team as a bargaining chip to trade, and get the Pistons' . Grant !
In recent years, the Celtics have actually built a lineup of the Big Three. They rely on Tatum, Jaylen _ Brown _ Brown Walker formed a three-core team. But Walker's performance is very bad, has fallen out of the scope of the star's discussion, in the past two years, he is just an average starter above the average. They also chose to trade him this summer.You can consider turning your advantage to the striker. After all, Brown and Tatum are both very good strikers, both offensive and defensive players. If they get Grant, they will have a better choice as a power forward. Last season, Grant made the biggest improvement in his career, averaging 22+4 data per game, and all indicators are career highs. But the Pistons' record has been unsatisfactory. This year they won the No. 1 pick Cunningham. Both he and Cunningham play with the ball. The Pistons can no longer use Grant as the core of the team. Grant continues to stay in the Pistons. The team has no hope anymore. If they join the Green Army, they will form a team on the front line, both offensively and defensively. Brown can be used as an off-the-ball end point and work harder on defense. As the core of the team, Tatum is the starting point of the team's offense. Grant's position as a power forward can reduce Tatum's great pressure on the inside. Although his defensive ability is average, he has a very diverse offensive skills on the offensive end. It can attract defenses to Tatum and Brown and help them get more opportunities.
Smart, traded by the Celtics, is a very good defensive player and the best outside gate in the league. Smart has become an important member of the Celtics team in recent years, but he does not hesitate to get a better star trade. And Smart is also suitable to assist Cunningham, he is likely to achieve a career in Pistons . Longford is a very good rookie player for the Celtics. As a swingman, his defensive performance is very impressive, but his three-pointers and shooting ability have yet to be polished. Na Smith is also a rookie player, but he has more potential, has a very stable output outside the three-point line, physical fitness is also very good, and has the potential to become a top 3D player. The Pistons have these potential players, which is of great help to Cunningham.
This transaction can make the Celtics directly transformed into an Eastern Conference finals-level team.The author believes that if this transaction can really be reached, it is still worth considering for them. Fans can leave a message in the comment area and discuss what they think.
