“With a roster spot open, most executives believe the Boston Celtics will stand pat and wait until the buyout market to add another veteran for a championship run. It’s worth noting Boston expressed interest in several veterans, including re-signing Blake Griffin and free agent forward TJ Warren last offseason.”

“Lastly, before signing with Houston, Reggie Bullock had interest from several teams, including the Bucks, Heat, Celtics, Clippers, and Pelicans, league sources told HoopsHype. Given his proven 3-and-D capability and current role in Houston, he’s also a name to watch.”

“Reserve forward John Konchar is also a candidate to be dealt before the February trade deadline. The Celtics, Warriors, and Lakers are among the teams who’ve kept tabs on Konchar’s situation from afar, HoopsHype has learned.”

    Celtics usually provide smokescreens with their trade targets. Remember Pritchard for Isaiah Stewart? Or for Willy Hernangomez?

    Derrick White wasn’t expected, Brogdon wasn’t expected, no reports of interest in Muscala before he came here, Porzingis trade details all happened within a day because the midnight deadline. Jrue Holiday was just about the only one that you heard Celtics were interested in and made a move on and that also happened within a couple of days.

    This early, I’m not sure Konchar would actually be the deal that gets done.

    However, I don’t think they would be opposed to a 2 guard since I don’t know if Svi will really give us playoff minutes with his defense, and before the season the 2 positions we felt we needed the most were SG and a big man. And Konchar is a cheap option on a team that might be selling pieces. I wouldn’t mind him as an extra piece if it’s possible.

    I think if we use this as speculation that Brad is calling Memphis FO and asking about players, both Tillman and Aldama are on cheap contracts and fit a need.
