Who the Celtics Should Really Trade...

We are a week away from the NBA trade deadline, and the Celtics and Brad Stevens seem primed to make a move or two. Whether it's to improve the team or free up money to avoid the luxury tax, the C's need to do something. Sure, they have won 10 or their last 14, but things have just seemed off for the last two seasons.

There has been a ton of talk about trading Dennis Schroder (I swear I tried to figure out how to put the two little dots above the "o" in his last name for like 20 m̶i̶n̶u̶t̶e̶s̶ seconds), and while I think we may be able to get a decent return for him, there is one player that I think the Celtics MUST trade NOW.

Grant Williams. I know we aren't going to get much back for him, but I don't know if his value will ever be as high as it is right now. He is currently 6th in the league in 3-point FG %. That is INSANE. Never again will he be anywhere near that.

The picture above is taken from him trying to shoot a free-throw in the 4th quarter of any close game the C's have been in over the last two years. Dude is a straight-up brick layer at the free throw line when the pressure is on. I'm sure someone much smarter than me could pull together his 4th quarter free throw percentage over the last two years, but if I had to guess I would say it's somewhere around 8%.

Keep Tatum and Brown. Definitely keep Rob Williams. Keep Marcus Smart. After that, it's open season. I like Josh Richardson, but I'm sure Brad is willing to move him. If you take a look at our roster and ask yourself, "who's trade value is currently at an all-time high?" there aren't many options. In all honesty, I think the only answers to that question at the moment are Rob Williams and Grant Williams. Time Lord can be a force. Grant can be a farce (see what I did there?? Only had to change one letter...thanks, Wordle!).
