The Boston Celtics are going to be an intriguing team to watch as the NBA trade deadline continues to draw closer. There has been speculation that they could look to make a sizable move and Jaylen Brown’s name has been coming up a lot. Even if they don’t move Brown, some are thinking they could make a big move still, with Russell Westbrook being a name that came up recently.
Westbrook has clearly not fit in with LeBron James and Anthony Davis for the Los Angeles Lakers. That could lead to the Lakers showing some level of interest in moving him. While the Celtics couldn’t offer a huge trade package for him, one NBA writer suggested them as a potential destination.
Yossi Gozlan of Hoops Hype talked about the Celtics potentially pulling off a deal for Westbrook. Here is a short bit of what he had to say on the matter.
Most Lakers fans will look at the suggested starting package and already write this deal off. However, the Lakers might have interest in something like this from the Celtics.
