Among the hottest names tied to the Boston Celtics well ahead of the 2022 NBA trade deadline has been San Antonio Spurs big man Jakob Poeltl. Bracketing the question of whether the Celtics even need to make such a big trade given how well they have been playing (a very fair position), could the Celtics get a frontcourt upgrade to help ease the burden on starting center Robert Williams III’s oft-injured legs, or 36-year-old veteran big man Al Horford some rest to preserve his best for the postseason?
According to Bleacher Report’s Greg Swartz, such a move could potentially be had, though Boston would need to wait until Dec. 15 for it to be allowed by the CBA.
