It is not just Grant Williams, Dennis Schroder, and Marcus Smart whose names are making the rounds in NBA trade rumor rumbles on Tuesday morning — veteran Boston Celtics shooting guard Josh Richardson is also rumored to be a trade target of note for a pair of Western Conference teams.
Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer related that the “Lakers are the latest team to have been linked to Boston’s efforts to trade Josh Richardson” in new reporting published on Tuesday, though it remains unclear what sort of offer Los Angeles would be able to assemble with very little in the way of moveable draft capital and few players the team can afford to part with in a salary structure that would make sense.
It also seems unlikely the Celtics would be especially keen on helping their longtime rivals inch back towards title contention with the number of banners tied between the two historic franchises at 17 each.
