Washburn: Boston Celtics should ‘look up north’ for a pair of trade targets

If the Boston Celtics plan on making more moves this offseason, one prominent NBA reporter believes they ought to look beyond the borders of the US for a pair of intriguing targets. The Boston Globe’s Gary Washburn related in a recent interview with NBC Sports Boston that the Celtics should “look up north for some solutions” to make a trade with the Toronto Raptors for what the team needs to take a step forward as a contender.

“Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby,” floated Washburn. “Toronto has got to figure out whether it wants to rebuild or whether it wants to retool. They lost Fred VanVleet. They signed Dennis Schroder; they’re a team in total limbo right now.”

“They’ve got some guys on some expiring contracts coming up that might be available to the Celtics with all this draft capital, all the second round picks they’ve picked up over the last couple of weeks,” continued the Globe reporter.

“I think looking north would be their next move, but … they need to wait to this market to dry out,” suggested Washburn. “There are going to be some available guys in free agency who are going to be up to minimum deals.”

“They could come to Boston to have a chance to win a championship and continue their careers, because right now the market is drying and some of these guys are going to get left out.”
