Boston Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens said that the biggest need for the Celtics in his preview of the 2024 NBA trade deadline is a big wing. Stevens sounded satisfied with the team’s rotation in the frontcourt so far and signaled that any wing added to the rotation could emerge from within, like Oshae Brissett and others on the bench unit.
This is because the team only has a $6.2 million traded player exception generated by signing-and-trading Grant Williams to the Dallas Mavericks this past offseason to use as a major trade piece for any potential swing at a larger wing.
The league’s new collective bargaining agreement also imposes restrictions on what Boston can do, as does the contract structure of the players already on the team.
CLNS Media’s Bobby Manning reported on Stevens’ interview with the media from Celtics practice on Thursday.
