NBA Trade Deadline bold predictions: The Boston Celtics make a rash move

I know the running joke is that the Boston Celtics are the team that nearly trades for everyone, but I believe that we’re going to see Danny Ainge finally pull the trigger on a big(gish) move at this year’s NBA Trade Deadline. What that results in, who knows, but I believe the Celtics are going to make a rash move.

Perhaps one that will ultimately backfire on the team.

A few potential candidates include John Collins, Harrison Barnes, or even a player such as Kristaps Porzingis. The Celtics could end up being in a bad place as a franchise in a few years if they can’t get the most out of this team’s current core.

Adding another productive player to this core, with their trade exceptions, is likely the only way to improve in-season. The Celtics will make a move.
