The Boston Celtics have struggled out of the gate this season even with the improved lineup. With a very good backcourt and solid wing players, all the Celtics now are solid rim protectors and another big time score. So the Celtics are targeting Anthony Davis or Rudy Gay.
Why Anthony Davis To Boston Celtics Make Sense: Solid Rim Protector And Big-Time Scorer Sorely Needed!
The Celtics got All-Star Al Horford in the free agency bonanza after losing out in the Kevin Durrant sweepstakes. While Al Horford is a decent scorer and good rebounder, he can't protect the rim the same way Anthony Davis can.
The Celtics can score. No question. But most of their points come from their guards and their wings. That makes their offense predictable allowing opposing teams to zero in on the Celtics guards. Davis can play inside and out creating more space and options for the Celtics.
What Will It Take For The Celtics To Land Anthony Davis?
For the Celtics to land Anthony Davis, Boston will have to part ways with Amir Johnson, Jaylen Brown, Avery Bradley, a 2017 first round pick (from Nets), and a 2019 first round pick (from Grizzlies). The New Orleans Pelicans will send Terence Jones with Anthony Davis.
Why Rudy Gay To Boston Celtics Make Sense: The Celts Need Veteran Leadership And Legit Scorer.
Rudy Gay of the Sacramento Kings is reportedly unhappy with his team and wants out. While Rudy Gay is seemingly past his prime, he is still a very good prospect for teams wanting to add a legit scorer and defender. While Rudy Gay certainly gives the Boston Celtics another scoring option, his presence will provide veteran leadership and a clear voice in the Celtics locker room.
What Will It Take For The Celtics To Land Rudy Gay?
For the Celtics to acquire Rudy Gay, Boston will send Tyler Zeller, Amir Johnson, Terry Rozier, a 2018 first round pick (own), and a 2019 first round pick (from Memphis) to the Sacramento Kings. Besides Rudy Gay, the Celtics will receive Ty Lawson and Willie Cauley-Stein from the Kings.
It makes sense for the Boston Celtics to stack up on Superstars. After all, the NBA is stuffed with them. However, is it possible for the Celtics to land Anthony Davis or Rudy Gay? Tell us why!
