The Boston Celtics already boast one of the most complete rosters in the NBA, but according to multiple insiders, Joe Mazzulla isn’t done yet — and his next move could shake the league.
League sources say the Celtics have been engaged in exploratory trade talks with multiple Western Conference teams, with growing buzz around a potential deal involving an elite two-way guard or versatile forward. One name being floated? Dejounte Murray of the Hawks, or even Brandon Ingram if the Pelicans are looking to reset.
The Celtics would reportedly part with key rotation players or future assets, possibly including Payton Pritchard, Sam Hauser, or even future picks. While no formal offer has been leaked, league executives have noted increased scouting activity and “quiet background checks” on select Western Conference players over the past two weeks.
The move would raise questions: Would the Celtics risk disrupting chemistry in a title-chasing season? Or is this the final chess move to push them past close rivals?
Boston has come painfully close to glory in recent years — and Joe might be ready to go all-in. Stay tuned: this could be the trade of the year in the making.
