The Celtics will trade for Tyreke Evans

I don’t exactly know if Danny Ainge would be willing to move a first-round pick for Tyreke Evans at the moment, but assuming that they can move Marcus Smart for a first-round pick it’d be that much more likely.

Evans is the perfect target for the Celtics. He’d help this team’s backup guards and could even play the 3. He’s a big wing that has defensive abilities and can create on the offensive end at the same time.

And if Evans is only going to cost a first-round pick, that’s something that the Celtics actually could give up. Making this trade would only add to the threat that is already being posed by the Celtics. Watch out, Cleveland.
