NBA Power Rankings: Celtics and Suns surging into December

The Boston Celtics will reportedly be aggressive in targeting bench help. Boston is believed to be looking to add depth ahead of the February 8 trade deadline.

Earlier this week, the Celtics were linked to Isaiah Stewart of the Detroit Pistons. Boston has been rumored to be looking at adding another rotation big since the offseason.

The challenge for the Celtics is that they don’t have a lot of tradable outgoing salary. The bigger salaries all belong to rotation players, making an upgrade hard to find. Boston does have a $6.2 million TPE that could be used in a deal. Otherwise, their best matching salary involves Al Horford or Payton Pritchard (both rotation players) or piecing together several players on minimum contracts.
