Magic Deal - Ross has been struggling in Orlando to say the least and they have, thankfully, fully embraced their rebuild with a great young lineup and adding a first to the mix would help get an older guy off the team for some much-desired draft capital.

Smart - JB - Tatum - Horford - RWIII

Schroder - Ross - Langford - Richardson - Grant

Grizzlies Deal - Slo-Mo is a great and borderline elite defender with fantastic secondary playmaking skills and a much improved jumpshot. He would be a major upgrade over josh Richardson for the Cs as an offensive initiator and defensive tone setter off the bench. The grizzlies add another great shooter from the 2020 draft and a pick while getting off an expiring deal.

Smart - JB - Tatum - Horford - RWIII

Schroder - Langford - Richardson - Anderson - Grant

Blazers Deal - Should the trailblazers appear to be out of the playoffs entirely or just a play-in team come the trade deadline, they may well look to shake things up. Richardson provides a bit more offense, further strengthening their already great team on that side of the floor, and grant is a solid versatile defender and corner shooter in the mold of PJ tucker who any team would be happy to have as a 9th man. For the Celtics, they would further add to their great defense, bringing in a top 5 help defender and great on-ball defender in RoCo. With point of attack hounds in Smart and Schroder, great drive containers in Langford and brown, great rim protection in horford and Williams, Covington would fit in seamlessly alongside Tatum as a great low man guarding pick and roll-heavy offensive schemes, and as a small ball 5 which he proved more than capable of being in his time with the Rockets. One of the better 3&D players in the league, the Celtics would be more than happy to take a gamble on him in their push for the playoffs.

Smart - JB - JT - RWIII/RoCo - Horford

Schroder - PP - Nesmith - Langford - RWIII/RoCo

Spurs Deal - Clearly the blockbuster of this post, I would like to add that Nesmith is meant to be in the Spurs trade as well but I could not add him to both deals. Dejounte Murray, a player whom the Celtics have been rumored to be interested in, is having himself a great breakout season, shooting well, albeit inconsistently, from 3, providing great rim pressure, showing improved court general and playmaking skills, and, as usual, being an elite mid-range shooter and one of the best defenders in the league. With his size and offensive package to go along with his already well-known defensive chops, dejounte would essentially provide the Celtics with a jumbo-sized version of Dennis Schroder. His presence on the team would likely slide Robert Williams out of the starting lineup and leave Josh Richardson with very few minutes if any at all. His skillset is very complementary to the Jays and the Celtics bigs as has been showcased by the rim pressure and kickout ability of Schroder this year but as a much greater scoring threat from within the arc. Trading for him would also solidify the Celtics as a top 5 defense.

Dejounte - Smart - JB - JT - Horford

Schroder - Langford - Richardson - Grant - RWIII
